The Main Street Caucus, a “pragmatic” conservative bloc on Capitol Hill , released a statement on Tuesday backing President Donald Trump’s early-stage efforts to extend expiring Obamacare subsidies. The only problem is that caucus members had no idea that statement was coming.

Three sources with knowledge of the caucus’s internal discussions told the Washington Examiner that members were neither consulted nor alerted that a statement would be issued by Chairman Mike Flood (R-NE) in support of the president’s willingness to extend the Obamacare credits.
