WASHINGTON Five Republican senators facing re-election voted for a Democratic-led bill Thursday to block the Trump administration from supporting a lawsuit to overturn Obamacare.
The senators include Susan Collins of Maine, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cory Gardner of Colorado and Martha McSally of Arizona, who are locked in some of the most competitive Senate races this year.
Alaska Republicans Dan Sullivan, who is also up for re-election, and Lisa Murkowski, who doesnt face voters until 2022, also voted with Democrats on the measure.
