Cong Mark Sanford (R-SC) announced he has switched from YES to NO on AHCA vote today.

Surprised he was a yes to begin with

Leaning strongly no. If they can't get committee chairmen to vote for this...

[Middle-aged Europe]

After moving Davidson from "no" to "unclear" and putting Frelinghuysen in the "no" camp instead, The Hill still lists 34 firm no votes, and 7 lean/likely no votes.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Oh, man, if this bill gets less than 200 votes...

[ApatheticAustrian]

i am fascinated by people who are switching from YES to NO...today (!!) ...what has changed?

btw

Rofl, left excitement because of a NY Times story. Some will never learn... #FakeNews

Very clever done by Trump: Negotiate, make concessions, changes and make clear that either THAT will become law or nothing will change and Obamacare will stay in place.

The people see that it's not the Presidents fault but the Congress fault and a lot of GOP voters will be furious with their Representatives but not with him.

Indeed, very clever.

What still is embarrassing is the amount of ill-preparation by the GOP Leadership. Talking for 7 years but not capable of making a bill that gets broad support. Ryan has to go, what a clown.

Trumpot  could walk out onto the White House lawn, douse himself with gasoline and strike up a match, and before the fire was out his cultists would be blaming oil companies poor safety record and Obama's lousy maintenance of the White House sprinkler system.

Reporter from Politico, just 2 hours ago he was very bullish on he bill.

[Gass3268]

4 hours of debate will be starting soon.

[Middle-aged Europe]

The Washington Post has updated their whip list now too.

There are now 20 representatives listed who have moved to "yes", after originally indicating that they opposed the bill.

This notwithstanding, there are still 32 firm "no" votes and 17 lean "no" votes.

It seems like they're losing "yes" votes at a faster rate than they're winning them.

Ryan going to the White House to brief Trump.

CBO told Senate they can't vote on repeal w/out a score, that could take a week or more. That would push a vote to may, after Easter recess.

Well, this is somewhat better than the clip from Downfall I was expecting.

The whip is still far short from getting the necessary votes. Amazing.

Does Ryan have the balls to do the logically right thing and pull the vote against Trump's wishes?

[publicunofficial]

The worst thing for Republicans would be to hold a vote, getting representatives on the record as supporting it, and then having it not pass.
