Lacking Votes, GOP Delays Vote on Healthcare Bill

Senate GOP leaders have abruptly delayed a vote on their health care bill until after July 4th recess.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says "good progress" was made during a White House meeting between President Donald Trump and Republican senators.

Trump invited them to meet after McConnell decided to delay a vote on the bill because there aren't enough votes to pass it.

McConnell said after the meeting there's a "really good chance" of passing the bill, but it won't happen before July Fourth as he originally planned.

McConnell says Republicans must come up with a solution because that's why the American people elected them. He says negotiating with Senate Democrats won't produce any of the changes sought by Republicans, including to the health markets and Medicaid.
