White House Wants No Votes Until Health Bill Passes

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said that “yes,” it’s official White House policy that the Senate shouldn’t hold a vote on another issue — not even an imminent crisis like raising the debt ceiling— until the Senate votes again on health care, Politico reports.

Said Mulvaney: “You can’t promise folks you’re going to do something for seven years, and then not do it.”
