Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney made clear Thursday evening that President Donald Trump is done negotiating on the hotly-debated health care bill and wants a vote on Friday.
And, if the president doesn't get a vote to repeal and replace Obamacare, he will move on to other priorities, Mulvaney said according to a source in the room during the tense talks with GOP members.
The latest salvo comes after House Republican leaders abruptly postponed a planned vote on the GOP health care bill Thursday as they struggled to find sufficient support to pass it. GOP lawmakers had previously been told procedural votes on the bill will still be held tonight and that a full vote on the measure could take place Friday.

Yeah, Trump really has pushed all the chips onto the table in week 8 and said to Ryan, “Call.”
See post 38. Ryan OWNS this POS.
This bill was being drafted by Ryan & co. for years now. The catering bills alone on the drafting sessions meals are in excess of $500,000.
Well I hope that is the play versus Signing into Law Ryancare.
Frankly, I am suspicious of everyone at this point with Mattis wanting Dems under him and Ivanka letting Jaimie Gorelick advise her on ETHICS
Well it looks like the Freedom Caucus will own Obamacare
Does this bill get rid of the mandate to buy?
Nice try. Check back in six weeks. Trump is fine, Ryan is screwed, and they are hustling to do another REPEAL and replace.
If this hurts people(Obama care failing) Trump minimally will share the blame if not most of it. He promised not only a repeal and replace but a sweeter plan for everyone. When asked about an uncooperative congress, he said he could handle them.
They had 8 years to put together a plan, to analyze it, to prepare the political landscape, to memorize the favorable arguments, to memorize the rebuttal arguments.
Instead, the leadership just suddenly threw it out there, completely unprepared for anything.
Reminds of George W. Bush, just after reelection, suddenly going on a national speaking tour in support of private retirement accounts and the slow phase out of Social Security.
Average citizens and GOP leaders were dumbfounded.
Bush laid no groundwork at all for the issue.
And after the completely pointless speaking tour was over, he almost never spoke about the issue again.
Thank You! Now who can put Ryan’s face on the dog?
They are voting tomorrow. Ryan better get those votes or resign!!
Trump has put his name on the line, if we fail him here....well it will hurt him and destroy whatever momentum he's trying to build.
We elected a leader, we either follow him or we'll be lost in the briarpatch until the dhimmis put a fork in him.
There is more in there than there should be in the way of coverage and cost. Yet the Democrats are acting as though no one is going to benefit because there is not enough “giveaway” to it.
After hearing what the Democrats are spouting about it I think we should just let Obamacare die and then possibly people will want to support something to replace it; or not.
RYAN MUST RESIGN!!
If conservatives insist on full repeal or nothing, they are going to end up with nothing. Surely there must be some steps in the right direction we can take — such as perhaps health insurance sales across state lines — that can attract a majority.
“Well it looks like the Freedom Caucus will own Obamacare”
Bingo.
Ryan should put the Rand Paul bill to a vote. Call their bluff.
What? What do you mean they are voting tonight? I thought the vote was postponed until tomorrow.
Ok. 6 weeks. A repeal and replace plan promised by Trump will be done in 6 weeks. Stop watch started.
Ryan's actually doing his "Pass this bill to find out what's in it" whistling death lap of the cemetery.
Kill Bill, Part 3.
