Greene, a staunch MAGA supporter, publicly expressed concern that if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-push-to-extend-obamacare-subsidies\/\" title=\"... push to extend Obamacare subsidies\">tax credits expire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/preview-president-biden-to-unveil-1-8-trillion-american-families-plan-during-his-address-to-congress\/\" title=\"PREVIEW: President Biden To Unveil .8 Trillion \u2018American Families Plan\u2019 During His Address To Congress\">health insurance premiums<\/a> for her own children and many others would double in 2026. Schumer highlighted her statement on the Senate floor to pressure House Speaker Mike Johnson, pointing out divisions within the Republican caucus on the issue. Johnson criticized Greene&#8217;s remarks, noting she is not part of the committees handling these matters and suggesting the discussions need to continue in proper settings. The debate unfolds amid an ongoing government shutdown and concerns about the impact on hardworking families. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Schumer praises MTG move to support Obamacare tax credits in floor speech<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2366763\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Chuck-Schumer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chuck Schumer<\/a> (D-NY) said Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marjorie-taylor-greene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a> (R-GA) was &ldquo;absolutely right&rdquo; after she signaled support for extending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Obamacare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Obamacare<\/a> tax credits.<\/p>\n<p>Greene <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3840174\/marjorie-taylor-greene-joins-republicans-extending-obamacare-subsidies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">supported extending<\/a> Obamacare subsidies in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepMTG\/status\/1975337063697555652\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post on X<\/a> on Tuesday morning, bucking her own party&rsquo;s position that the debate should not be a part of shutdown negotiations.
