In the wake of House Republicans unveiling their proposal to repeal and replace ObamaCare Monday night, on Tuesday, the network morning shows signaled that the GOP would not be allowed to undo President Obama’s “signature policy” without facing a “grueling battle” in Washington.
On NBC’s Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie started off the coverage by proclaiming: “...our top story, this grueling battle already shaping up in Washington as House Republicans roll out their plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare.” In the report that followed, correspondent Hallie Jackson declared: “That long-awaited bill from House Republicans is finally here and that means the real fight finally begins....It will be Congress's highest profile battle, and with the health care coverage of 20 million Americans in the balance, some of the highest stakes.”
