The popularity of the Affordable Care Act has replaced the political strategy of Republicans, who are no longer campaigning to end the law.

Report from Washington
Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, have placed the Affordable Care Act at the center of their campaign, raising the specter of a new Republican effort to repeal it next year if former President Donald J. Trump wins the White House.
“If Donald Trump gets the chance, he will end the Affordable Care Act and take us back to a time when insurance corporations had the strength to deny access to others with pre-existing conditions,” Harris said at a rally. in Philadelphia last week. . . . he introduced Mr. Walz as his running mate. “Do you know what it was?”
The next day, Walz said at a rally in Detroit that Trump would continue trying to undermine the 2010 physical care law because “he doesn’t care. “
But so far they face an adversarial position.
In this year’s crusade there is no organized effort to oppose the Affordable Care Act through Republicans, who have continually tried and failed to repeal the law. Trump threatened some other repeal attempt in November, but he retracted his comments in the spring and said, without details, that he would pass the fitness law.
“President Trump is not running to end the Affordable Care Act,” Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, said in a statement. “It’s running to make health care actually affordable. “
