2017-07-18 0

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is still holding firm when it comes to the Republican mission of repealing Obamacare. McConnell said late Monday that the Senate will soon vote on simply repealing Obamacare, without a replacement plan. It's not exactly receiving rave reviews. West Virginia Senator Shelley Moore Capito said The Republicans' latest plan to repeal and replace Obamacare was dashed Monday after two senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas, said they would vote against the bill. Trump sounded off Tuesday morning. "I think we're probably in that position where we'll just let Obamacare fail. We're not going to own it. I'm not going to own it. I can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it," Trump later said.
