Neither the president nor his thousands of cheering supporters seemed especially energized about the newly announced White House plan to make healthcare a centerpiece of Trump's 2020 campaign.
President Donald Trump on Thursday held his first campaign rally since special counsel Robert Mueller finished his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
But while Trump's riffs on hot-button subjects like the Democratic"green new deal" energy proposal or late-term abortions electrified the crowd, one subject received decidedly fewer cheers than the others: The recently unveiled White House plan to make healthcare a centerpiece of the 2020 campaign. But already on Thursday, it was evident that neither the Trump administration's latest legal challenge to Obamacare, nor congressional Republicans' longshot odds of passing a replacement law through a Democratically controlled House, had yet managed to captivate Trump or his voters.
