John McCain was the deciding vote to take down the Republicans’ health care plan in a vote that took place in the middle of the night!
The Arizona senator, who is currently back on the Senate floor despite his battle with brain cancer, voted no on the “skinny repeal” of Obamacare. This made the vote 51-49.
McCain joined fellow Republican senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska in voting against Majority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s proposal to repeal part of Obama‘s Affordable Care Act.
This is a huge blow to President Trump and celebs took to Twitter early Friday morning (July 28) to praise McCain for defecting from the other Republicans. Read what they said below!
Thanks to the Senators who voted to kill that stupid, heartless bill. Let's stay vigilant. It's not over.
