President Donald Trump is calling for the Senate to change its majority vote from 60 to 51.The president suggested the move Tuesday morning on Twitter. "The Senate must go to a 51 vote majority instead of current 60 votes. Even parts of full Repeal need 60. 8 Dems control Senate. Crazy!"The tweet came just hours after another tweet scolded congressional democrats "and a few Republicans" for failing to repeal Obamacare. “Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard,” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning, but said, “We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans.”He added, “As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!”Two GOP senators — Utah’s Mike Lee and Jerry Moran of Kansas — sealed the measure’s doom late Monday when they announced they would vote “no” in an initial, critical vote that had been expected as soon as next week. That meant that at least four of the 52 GOP senators were ready to block the measure — two more than Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had to spare in the face of unanimous Democratic opposition.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
