The US Republican Party failed again.

The US Senate will not vote this week on a bill to repeal the Obamacare health care program.

On September 26, the Republican Party leader announced that the US Senate will not vote on a bill to repeal the Obamacare health care program this week. This is considered a failure for President Donald Trump and Republican Congressmen - who are making a last-ditch effort to realize their campaign pledge.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced the decision because there were not enough votes needed to pass a bill to repeal Obamacare.

Previously, three Republican Senators including John McCain, Susan Collins and Rand Paul said they would not vote to pass the bill proposed by Senators Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Republicans have not given up on changing the US health care system, but a vote this week is unlikely.

In response to the news, President Donald Trump warned Republicans that he would work with Democrats on health care if they did not act. He also expressed his disappointment with Republicans who opposed the bill to repeal Obamacare.

The US House of Representatives passed a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare in early 2017. However, the Republican-controlled US Senate has repeatedly failed to pass the bill, most recently in July.

Republicans hold 58 seats in the Senate compared to Democrats' 48, so they can only lose two votes, plus Vice President Mike Pence's vote, to pass the bill under special rules, just needing a majority. In case the vote is delayed past September 30, they will need more than 60 votes to pass./.
