in the first hours after the decision, Trump He greeted the news with the deafening silence of defeat.
While President Joe Biden and Democratic congressional leaders struggled to position statements praising the decision, most Republicans adopted the lead of... Trump by refusing to give him any further attention.
Instead of speaking individually, the Republican leaders of the condominium released a joint statement for free. In a ruin with the tendency of Trump, They avoided attacking the court or its choice, while highlighting their aversion to Obamacare, which is formally titled the Good Value Care Act.
