John Cornyn, the number two Republican in the Senate, had been brashly predicting that the GOP would move forward with its bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act this week and no later. But the number one Republican in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, reportedly just blinked and said that’s not going to happen: He’s delaying any vote until after Congress’s July 4 recess, which doesn’t end until July 10. So unless McConnell’s acting out 11-dimensional kabuki (and anything's possible with this guy), that means he’s struggling to corral the 50 votes he needs for this monstrosity. And we can make it even harder. Right now, there are three Republican senators up for re-election in 2018 who could face competitive races: Dean Heller in Nevada Jeff Flake in Arizona Ted Cruz in Texas Daily Kos is raising money for ActBlue’s “nominee funds” for each of these races, and you can contribute to these funds right now.
Comment on Senate Republicans just blinked on healthcare repeal. Here's how we make them think twice.
