Trump doesn’t have the votes to pass Trumpcare

written by Jeanine Martin March 22, 2017

Trump went to Capitol Hill on Tuesday attempting to get more Congressmen to vote for his healthcare bill, but he doesn’t yet have the support he needs to pass the bill when it comes to a vote on Thursday.

Trump can afford to lose 21 members in the House and two in the Senate and still get the bill through Congress. As of Tuesday afternoon, 23 Congressmen have said they will vote against the bill including three Congressman from Virginia, Dave Brat, Tom Garrett, and Rob Whitman. (Virginia Congressman Scott Taylor has announced he will vote for the bill.) Three other Congressmen are leaning toward voting against the bill.

In the Senate 6 members have said they will vote against the bill with another ten expressing serious concerns.

Senators opposing Trumpcare:

Senator Rand Paul (Kentucky)

Senator Mike Lee (Utah)

Senator Tom Cotton (AR)

Senator Susan Collins (Maine

Senator Ted Cruz (Texas)

Senator Dean Heller (NV)

House members opposing Trumpcare:

Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio)

Rep. Justin Amash (Mich)

Rep. Dave Brat (VA)

Rep. Mo Brooks (Ala)

Rep. Raúl R. Labrador (Idaho)

Rep.Thomas Massie (Ky)

Rep. Rob Wittman (VA)

Rep. Leonard Lance (NJ)

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fl.)

Rep. Warren Davidson (Ohio)

Rep. Andy Harris (MD)

Rep. Thomas Garrett (VA)

Rep. Mark Sanford (SC)

Rep. Eric A. “Rick” Crawford (AR)

Rep. John Katko (NY)

Rep. Mark Meadows (NC)

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA)

Rep. Glenn Thompson (PA)

Rep Joe Barton (TX)

Rep. Lou Barletta (PA)

Rep. Ted Budd (NC)

Rep. Todd Young (Alaska)

Rep. Rod Blum (Iowa)

There are another 16 Senators and 26 House members who have “serious concerns” about the healthcare bill.  That list can be found here.  Unless the bill is rewritten it looks like it won’t pass on Thursday.
