White House Correspondents Unhappy With Limits on News Briefings

The White House Press Briefings, until recently, weren't almost as strictly policed - hence Hennessy's deployment by CNN to Spicer's abode at the White House.

That could add Heller's name to Trump's call list.

"It's not that they're opposed". And the White House is not entirely wrong about that.

Republicans view the law, formally known as the Affordable Care Act, as a costly government intrusion and say individual insurance markets created by it are collapsing.

The four holdouts, among the Senate's most conservative members, said the plan failed to rein in the federal government's role, highlighting Republicans' struggle to craft legislation to revamp a sector that accounts for one-sixth of the world's largest economy. "They're not trying to figure out, 'How do I get on TV?'"

Based on the how the bill is now drafted, Senators Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Ron Johnson (R-WI), and Mike Lee (R-UT) have issued a joint statement of opposition. Don't take that away from us. Although the image itself is more or less what you'd expect - it's a picture of Spicer standing behind a podium and briefing reporters - some noted how surreal it was to see a presidential briefing drawn in the manner of a courtroom proceeding.

Trump said getting approval would require travelling a "very, very narrow path" but that "I think we're going to get there". Paul was very vocal in opposing an early version of the House healthcare bill and after votes on that bill were canceled, he went golfing with Trump.

The Senate bill maintains much of the structure of the House's but differs in key ways.

Trump publicly celebrated the House bill's passage, only to later criticize it in private as "mean".

"He's concerned about, uh, any country or any actor that wants to interfere with our elections, I've confirmed that he stands by that", Spicer updated, without referring specifically on Russian Federation.
