President Donald Trump and his Republican colleagues appear to have failed again to repeal Obamacare. Collins was the third declared Republican “no” vote, along with Sen. John McCain and Sen. Rand Paul. “It’s time for us to move on to tax reform,” Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy told the Baton Rouge Advocate. Cassidy said he would keep trying to repeal Obamacare, but he also said he would not make any more changes to try to win over opponents, BuzzFeed reported. Trump himself ran on a repeal pledge, claiming it would be “so easy.” The legislative disaster could hurt Republicans in the 2018 elections.
