President Donald Trump blamed Democrats in Congress -- and a few Republicans -- on Tuesday for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s decision to abandon efforts to pass a broad Republican-only replacement of Obamacare and opting instead to seek a straight vote on repeal.

„We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans,“ Trump tweeted. „Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard. We will return!“

He also said he was willing to „let Obamacare fail“ before moving forward on a replacement, which may be delayed by as long as two years under the move McConnell is considering.
