Via Townhall:
As Guy detailed earlier, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have been carefully counting votes ahead of tomorrow’s big push to pass the American Health Care Act. The White House has been saying for weeks they are highly confident the bill will pass.
But according to a new report in POLITICO, the House Freedom Caucus has 25 members who plan to vote against the bill. Because Republicans can only afford to lose 21 votes, if that number holds the bill is sunk.
More than 25 members of the House Freedom Caucus are opposed to the Republican Obamacare replacement, a spokeswoman for the group said Wednesday. With all Democrats expected to vote against the plan, it would take 22 Republican “no” votes to block it. The announcement came despite direct appeals from Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and House Republican leaders.
