Senate Republicans are making a final effort to keep their promise to voters and repeal the Affordable Care Act. There’s just one problem: An awful lot of voters don’t want that.
They’ve also got another problem: The clock is ticking and time’s running out.
Why? As ABC explains, they can only avoid a bill-killing filibuster by Senate Democrats if they can get the Graham-Cassidy bill passed by September 30. After that, budget rules no longer apply and they’d need a two-thirds majority to override their colleagues from the other side of the aisle, who are unanimously against it.
