The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is taking a hit from donors as a result of the GOP-controlled Senate’s failure to repeal and replace Obamacare. According to CNN, at least $2 million in pledged donations has been withheld due to donors’ anger at the party for not coming together on a plan to fulfill the seven-year campaign promise.

The NRSC declined to comment.
