Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Sunday reiterated that the onus for defunding Obamacare remains on the House and offered a backup plan in case he and other GOP senators can't pass a budget that defunds the health care law.
"The House is the only body where Republicans have the majority, so the House has to lead on this," Cruz said on "Fox News Sunday." "And I view my job and (Sen.) Mike Lee's job as providing as much support, as much air cover as we can for the House to stand up and lead."
