McConnell splits with Cruz on ObamaCare defunding tactic
By Alexander Bolton - 09/23/13 05:52 PM ET

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) on Monday broke with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and said he will oppose a filibuster of House legislation defunding ObamaCare.

McConnell said he will not block the bill from coming to a final vote because it includes language to strip funding from President Obama’s signature healthcare law while keeping current government funding levels in place.

“Sen. McConnell supports the House Republcians’ bill and will not vote to block it, since it defunds ObamaCare and funds the government without increasing spending by a penny,” said a spokesman for the GOP leader.

McConnell pledged to vote against any amendment pushed by Senate Democrats to take the defund-ObamaCare provisions out of the bill.

“He will also vote against any amendment that attempts to add Obamacare funding back into the House Republicans’ bill,” said McConnell’s spokesman.
