Rep. Tom MacArthur (R., N.J.) may even be ousted as the head of the centrist Tuesday Group for negotiating with the tea-party-aligned Freedom Caucus to revive the bill. "MacArthur has become so toxic within the group that he's intentionally stayed out of final negotiations this week, as leaders try to cajole dozens of centrists to accept the deal he brokered with conservatives," Politico's Rachael Bade and Kyle Cheney report. "My amendment has caused far more of a stir than I anticipated," he told them in an interview Wednesday. "And I made the judgment that I think for me, particularly with the moderates, it's better if I stay out of the way at the moment." MacArthur said one moderate colleague even told him, "You are going to make us lose the majority." Asked if he is worried about his leadership position, MacArthur responded, "We'll see."
