Cantor, the GOP’s chief vote-counter in the House, said that the first-term Louisiana Republican would oppose healthcare legislation after having voted with Democrats last fall, the only Republican lawmaker to do so.
“Yes, I have spoken to Joseph Cao as recently as an hour and a half ago,” Cantor said in response to a question on whether Cao would oppose the bill.
“He is a firm ‘no’ against this bill,” Cantor added.
