2025. Kacie hunt is following off of this very quickly right now. Were open to negotiation, but we want the bill to look more like a repeal. Were afraid that when we read the bill, it looks like a rei r reiteration or a keeping. We believe the subsidies may exceed or equal the subsidies in obama care. As we look at the expense in the first year or two it may cost more than obama care. And as we look at a Brand New Program to pay Insurance Companies, the idea that well allow the death spiral of obama care to derath spiral, but we will subsidize it. I think we have a better chance of getting it modified. Right now youre a no vote . Yes, we cannot support it in the current iteration. Who is in the rest of the group . Senator cruz, lee, johnson, and myself. That is enough to take down the bill . It is not to take down the bill, its to make it better. I believe the leverage and the count of four people is never that hopefully those that wrote the bill will say we want some or all of their v
Private conversations with President Trump yet denying he was invoking executive privilege. Democrats accusing him of standing in the way of the russia investigation. We have a lot to get to tonight but i want to begin with cnns political analyst, political director and the staff writer at the atlantic and contributor john dean and the other of conservatives without conscience. President trump hit the road to talk jobs in milwaukee but all eyes on capitol hill. Things got testy. Take a look. Mr. Comey said there were matters with respect to the recusal that were problematic and he wouldnt talk about them. What are they . Why dont you tell me . There are none. I can tell you that for absolute certainty. This is a secret innuendo being leaked throughout about me and i dont appreciate it. So, what did we learn, gloria, from the attorney general with his interactions with the fbi director . We learned that hes mad these stories have been leaked and he believes he did nothing wrong. And whe
Thin. The latest polling from wsb tv has us at 49 49. Really incredible on just 2 undecid undecided. A big key in this race is the 100,000 people who have early voted already. 150 surge from the first election back in april. And, spending on this has been increasing just incredibly. The latest tally about 60 million spent on this race so far. The most expensive house race ever. So, hallie, a lot of excitement here and we have john ossoff supporters cheering in the distance and the media here and and we expect to hear from her in just a few seconds. We didnt even have time to tee you up there in the suburbs of atlanta. You were at her polling place and we expected her to come out. I just want taclarify. You walking after her and her going in. We think shell walk out and make more comments, perhaps. She just walked in. A couple reporters gathered inside. She may speak inside. We will try to get inside and listen to her there. It is difficult to broadcast inside the polling place. Well tr
The Republican Health care plan. I think were probably in that position where well let obamacare fail, were not going to own it, im not going to own it. The republicans are not going to own it. And good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in colorado for the aspen security Conference Starting today. Even as National Security experts are raising red flags about a previously undisclosed one on one meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin, with mr. Trump relying only on putins translator. That meeting took place just hours after the president s widely covered sitdown, the formal meeting which itself raised questions because of the way the president dealt with the russian hacking controversy. And it also is coming as putin is pressing for the lifting of u. S. Sanctions against russia and the return of two diplomatic compounds that u. S. Intelligence says were used for spying. Kristen welker joins me now and will be with us throughout the hour as senators are boarding buses to head
We talked moments before this and you said people didnt know where john mccain was going on this. It was interesting. I think about six hours ago, this result would have surprised a lot of people. After that press conference this evening where john mccain, lindsey graham, ron johnson and others said they would vote for it if they got assurances from paul ryan. The senate and house leaders outreach and a lot of work done behind scenes to convince those gentlemen to get to yes and all but one did ultimately get to yes. The signs early in the evening all seemed to point to confidence from Republican Leaders that they would have these votes. The vote was moved up a little bit in the calendar, it was scheduled to have it a little earlier in the night than expected. Mike pence came a little bit earlier than people expected. And then there was a development where people just stopped talking about how they would vote. It was an hour before the vote, and john mccain said he just was not going t
