This is for a "clean" 3-year extension, I believe.
The most obvious House GOP members to push for:
GA-14 MTG, of all people
NE-02 Don Bacon
CO-03 Jeff Hurd
...or any of the other 13 GOP Reps who've already cosponsored a clean 1-year extension.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.
That makes 214.
We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.
