Just moments prior. Live in bridgewater new jersey near the president s golf club where he is expected sometime now. Brian . Reporter hi, sandra. Look. A rashable Development Just an hour ago with the president deciding to disban entirely two of his key economic councils. The Manufacturing Council, which was built entirely to help him keep american jobs here with 12 big time ceos on that council.

Bill. It would be limited to repealing the obamacare is of individual and employer mandates and the medical device tax. The measure would go to conference to cut a deal with the house. After the procedural vote, Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell pledged to keep working to get there and noted democrats doug two struggled with passing obamacare. We watched a similar process seven years ago. They had a lot of differences. We are going to sort this out with a so thoroughly open amendment process and a situation where 51 votes can change the bill. This democratic leader tried to convince moderate republicans to oppose this effort. Dont be fooled by this ruse. A vote in favor of the motion to proceed will mean deep cuts to medicaid, it may be even deeper than in the house bill. It wont be an easy lift going forward, but leadership was able to get past the first hurdle and has an opportunity to keep working at it to keep a Campaign Promise going back
