“Next week we’ll be voting on the motion to proceed, and I have every expectation that we’ll be able to get on the bill," McConnell told reporters after the lunch with Trump.

It was not immediately clear which bill McConnell wanted to move to — a straight repeal of ObamaCare or the Senate's ObamaCare repeal-and-replace legislation, which had seemed dead days ago.

But as the afternoon waned on, it seemed increasingly clear that McConnell's hope is to get back to a new and improved Senate bill.

Asked which bill would be voted on, Cornyn said. "I suspect it will be anything senators want to vote on. If a senator wants to offer an amendment that's the 2015 bill, they can do that.

"If we can get an agreement here, my preference would be to start with the BCRA, agree to language, and I think were getting closer."

“I said back in January that if we’re going to do a repeal, there has to be a replacement. There’s enough chaos and uncertainty already,” Murkowski told reporters on Tuesday.

Republicans received a scolding from Trump at the outset of their meeting. The president said he was ready to sign legislation if the Senate sent it to him and called on them to cancel their August recess to get it done.

McConnell would not say if he would heed Trump's request to cancel August recess to continue work on healthcare.
