Donald Trump and the GOP leadership are growing increasingly nervous that the budget impasse and the subsequent government shutdown are not going their way as the questions about healthcare costs loom larger and larger in the debate.

Moments after the co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” shared video of an interview with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SC) attempting to pin blame on Democrats for the shutdown when Republicans control both chambers of Congress and the White House, co-host Jonathan Lemire claimed the Republicans may have painted themselves into a corner.

Citing Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s break with the party and siding with constituents who are worried about losing Affordable Care Act (ACA) support, Lemire explained, “It is something that is not going away.”

“This is obviously the centerpiece of this current debate here on capitol hill with this shutdown, you know,” he elaborated. “But I can tell you, White House officials I spoke to last week or so are getting more and more nervous about the politics of this, that they feel like the health care issue — and we saw Senator Thune try to grab it back there a little bit today — but they feel like this is breaking away from them and they're nervous.”

He then added, “The president himself, nervous that the Republicans could come out on the losing end again.”
