(AP) - President Donald Trump's announcement that he will send cost-sharing subsidies in the Affordable Care Act will affect more than 150,000 people in New Jersey.

Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services shows that about half of the nearly 300,000 people enrolled in insurance plans purchased from the federal exchange in New Jersey got more than $166 million in benefits.

Democrat Phil Murphy's gubernatorial campaign says he would pick an attorney general who would sue Trump over his executive order.

Murphy spokesman Dan Bryan said Friday Murphy would nominate an attorney general who would take "all measures" to "protect health care."

Murphy leads Republican rival Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno in the race to succeed GOP Gov. Chris Christie on Nov. 7.

Her campaign called on Washington to work toward a "solution" on health insurance.
