House Republican leadership targeted red-state Senate Democrats at a Friday rally following their vote to defund Obamacare.
“I want to know where Senator [Mark] Pryor stands,” Majority Leader Eric Cantor said after the House passed a government funding bill that stripped funding for the health care law. He then listed Mary Landrieu (LA), Mark Begich (AK) and Kay Hagan (NC) as other Senate Democrats in red states up for reelection in 2014 who should take a hard look at defunding the law.
The House passed the government spending bill stripping funding from the law largely along party lines in a 230-189 vote. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has said the legislation is “dead” in his chamber.
Cantor’s targets — including Pryor, Landrieu, Begich and Hagan — have already signaled they wouldn’t support such a measure.
