They’re scrambling to find a bill that they can pass on the floor. <br /><br /> “I don’t know if you want to call this on Trump’s part a ‘rookie’s error’. But you don’t find a day and say we’re going to pass a bill. you build your consensus in your caucus. And when you’re ready, you set the date to bring it to the floor.”<br /><br /> The Republicans can only afford to have 21 of their own representatives vote against the bill; some US media report that at the moment there are 26 Republicans opposed.<br /><br /> The lack of support comes despite Trump going to Congress himself to try to get Republicans on side.<br />
