Conway: Trump focused on healthcare, not 2018 elections

President Trump’s focus is on getting an ObamaCare replacement bill done, not positioning Republicans for the 2018 midterm elections, top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday. 

“I heard people on TV talk about the 2018 elections. We’re not thinking about political campaigns,” Conway told “Fox & Friends.”

“This president wants to deliver healthcare and access and coverage to Americans who need it.”

Conservative lawmakers have criticized the American Health Care Act, unveiled earlier this month, for keeping certain components of ObamaCare, with some arguing for a clean repeal of the original healthcare legislation.

“He reaches across all different political viewpoints to try to provide care,” Conway said of Trump’s recent meeting with Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress who is considered an architect of ObamaCare.
