Sen. Mitch McConnell has allegedly informed President Trump and Republican senators over the past 24 hours that if the current Obamacare repeal fails this week, the GOP may lose all its leverage and be forced to work in cooperation with the Democrats. “If we fail, we’re going to be negotiating with Chuck Schumer,” one Republican staffer told Politico. Voters expect the GOP to deliver on the promise to repeal Obama’s trademark law, McConnell reportedly told the president in a phone call this week. Failing to repeal it, said McConnell, would mean Republicans lose the chance to do a significant rewrite of the measure—including scaling back Obamacare taxes, Medicaid spending, and a number of industry mandates.
