Senate GOP tries one last time to repeal ObamacareMcConnell and his lieutenants will gauge support for the bill this week in private party meetings.
By BURGESS EVERETT and JOSH DAWSEY 09/17/2017 02:51 PM EDT
But Cassidy estimates he is now just a handful of votes short of passing the bill, and other senators are beginning to press for another vote before they turn their attention to tax reform this fall.
Some Republicans believe that if the bill were put on the floor Monday, it would have the support of 49 senators.
All we need is one more, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said of the repeal effort, which failed in July after GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted no on a slimmed-down repeal bill.
