Early this morning he tweeted that democrats along with the three republicans who voted against repeal and replace have failed the American People tweeting the senate needs to change its rules to allow bills to pass with a simple majority of 51 votes rather than 60. So much of this is clearly a disappointing moment. Reporter after seven years of premises to rollback obamacare, Mitch Mcconnell threw in the towel. The early boat was 4951 after hours spent trying to win over john mccain who voted no. Lets turn the page and Work Together to improve our healthcare system. Reporter President Trump also has his hands full with his own administration. The president of the United States is a strong leader.

During the briefing yesterday Sarah Huckabee sanders was asked if the president still has confidence in Reince Priebus. She would not answer that question. The last time that happened was james comey and a few days later he was fired. Gasia and dave . So he thinks the senate should change its rules. I would that be done . Reporter you may remember the Nuclear Option which would change rules to allow a bill to pass with a simple majority of 51 votes rather than the 60 currently needed was done a few years ago under senator harry reid from nevada. That was done for the judicial appointment because president obama was having a hard time getting those confirmed. That has been done for some of those appointments but not spread to other larger pieces of legislation. Mitch mcconnell has said thus far that would be a severe breach of protocol in the senate. Thank you. The nonpartisan Budget Office says they defeated bill would have resulted in 60 million fewer americans with medical coverage by 2026 increasing premiums every year between 2018 and 2026.
