Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s new proposal to simply repeal Obamacare appears to be dead less than 24 hours after he dropped his replacement plan for lack of support among fellow Republicans.
McConnell said the Senate will hold a procedural vote early next week on a repeal bill with a two-year delay. But GOP Senators Susan Collins, Shelley Moore Capito and Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday they’ll oppose such a measure, and McConnell can’t lose more than two Republican votes.
