Questions Emerge About GOP's Future Following Trump Acquittal

On Saturday, February 13th, the Senate impeachment trial concluded after former President Donald Trump was acquitted on the charge of inciting an Insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th. While a majority of senators found Trump guilty in a 57-43 vote, they still fell short of the two-thirds supermajority required to convict the former president. Fox News Radio political analyst Josh Kraushaar joins to discuss why the vote margin on acquittal could have a significant impact on the Republican party moving forward, why Democrats avoided calling witnesses during the impeachment trial, how the impeachment proceedings have created a divide in the Senate and how the tensions between the two parties will complicate bipartisan efforts. He infamously called the Affordable Care Act a big blanking deal the day President Obama signed it into law in 2010. Joe Biden was Vice President then. Eleven years later, now that he's President, he's trying to save what's typically just referred to these days as Obamacare. President Biden signed executive actions related to health care, and one of them set up a special new enrollment period for Obamacare starting today, giving anyone uninsured a three month window to sign up for coverage in the 36 states that have participated. It would also give anyone eligible who already has insurance through Obamacare the chance to choose a different plan. Most of the other state run exchanges also have a new special enrollment period. Dr. Nicole Saphire, a physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New Jersey and a Fox News contributor, and Bill Mears, a FOX News reporter covering the Supreme Court, join to discuss the Affordable Care Act and President Biden’s executive order to strengthen it, reverse Trump era orders to change it, and open the special enrollment period. Plus, commentary by Fox Nation host Tammy Bruce.
