Centrist Third Way Democrats release statement panning Senate vote. [View all]

WASHINGTON—Third Way issued the following statement from Jon Cowan, President of Third Way:

“We oppose the agreement in the Senate to end the government shutdown.

“For the last 40 days—and for the first time in the Trump presidency—Democrats have driven the debate and put Republicans on their heels. All factions of the party were unified around defending the Affordable Care Act. Republicans, led by Trump, seem hellbent on taking away the tax credits that allow millions of Americans to have health care without going broke. This was a battle worth fighting, and it was worth fighting longer.

If you're to the right of the Third Way Democrats, you may as well be a Republican.
