[Whitfield:] All right. Welcome back. I'm Fredricka Whitfield. Two months two his presidency and Donald Trump is dealing with his biggest setback to date, the failure of the president and his fellow White House Republicans to pass the GOP health care plan. On Friday, the president blamed Democrats for the defeat and went as far as to claim he never promised to repeal and replace Obamacare in his first few months of the job.
[Donald Trump, President Of The United States:] Look, I never said what, I'm here 64 days? I never said repeal and replace Obamacare you've all heard my speeches. I never said repeal it and replace it within 64 days. I have a long time.
[Whitfield:] Actually, the president is on record multiple times saying he would ask Congress to send him a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare immediately after taking the oath of office. With me now is CNN congressional reporter, Lauren Fox. Lauren, good to see you. How is this failure likely to play out on Capitol Hill and with Trump supporter?
[Lauren Fox, Cnn Congressional Reporter:] Yesterday, emerging from the meeting, Republican members of Congress were disappointed with the fact that they were not able to deliver the votes to President Trump on this bill. One thing we have to remember, this is the vote that was going to catapult them and had catapulted them to win the House, Senate, and the White House. And members back home are going to be able to be deeply disappointed to hear the Republican Party was not deliver to them. We have to hear some bites from members folks back home who are who are very disappointed with the president.
[Unidentified Female:] I don't like the repeal of Obamacare at all. I feel like it was pushed through. And now Trump is trying to push through something, but at least he's honoring the other votes. I'm happy that it didn't pass. Let's just if it didn't pass, leave it the way it is for now. If you can't agree behind the scenes, leave it alone. Let it just be what it is until you can do something better.
[Unidentified Male:] Obamacare, as it stands, I think they need to focus on bigger issues and keep keep this plan going.
[Fox:] As you can hear, constituents back home are very divide over what should happen to the Affordable Care Act. And I think what we can expect moving forward is that members of Congress are going to move to Trump's next agenda items, tax reform, infrastructure. We shouldn't be expecting that health care will be front and center any more. Some Republicans are warning that if something is going to be done on Obamacare at this point Senator Graham said earlier at a town hall, they'll need Democratic support to get it across the finish line. I think everyone realizes Republicans are deeply divided on this. And exactly what to do moving forward is going to fall to bipartisan support. Thank you.
[Whitfield:] All right. Lauren FOX, thanks so much. The president himself saying yesterday that next on the agenda, he will likely tackle tax reform. For more of our reporting go to CNN.com on all of this. Still ahead, Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, says he is confident Democrats can block a vote on Neil Gorsuch, the president's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. What are the Democrats planning? We'll discuss next.
