Will third time be the charm for Trump’s attempt to pass a Republican healthcare bill? After two consecutive failed attemps to repeal Obamacare at the end of March and again last week, on Monday morning Trump’s two key advisers, first Gary Cohn then Reince Priebus, said they think there are enough votes to pass the revised GOP healthcare proposal.
“Do you have the votes for healthcare?” Cohn was asked on CBS This Morning. “I think we do,” he answered.
“This is going to be a great week,” Cohn continued. “We’re going to get healthcare down to the floor of the House. We’re convinced we got the votes and we’re going to keep moving on with our agenda.”
Cited by The Hill, Cohn, who serves as director of the National Economic Council, also touted the administration’s tax plan. “We’re very excited about our tax plan as well,” he said. “We’re going to continue to drive President Trump’s agenda forward.”
