The Senate will not vote on the Graham-Cassidy bill to repeal Obamacare, Republican leaders announced Tuesday.
The decision is another blow to President Donald Trump's attempts to repeal Obamacare, a long-time Republican campaign promise and a centerpiece of his legislative agenda. Trump is now also floating the idea of working with Democrats on changes to the health care law, repeating the tactic he used to reach a budget deal earlier this month.
On Monday, Sen. Susan Collins finally came out against the bill, a position she'd been teetering toward for days. Sens. John McCain and Rand Paul also opposed the measure, leaving the Graham-Cassidy bill shy of the 50 votes it needed to pass.
