“It has a very good chance,” Trump told reporters when asked if the proposal will pass.

The president said the Senate GOP measure has “47 or 48” votes and claimed that “a lot of” other senators “are looking at it very positively.”

Trump said lawmakers will feel compelled to act because ObamaCare is a “train wreck” that “is only getting worse.”

“It’s dysfunctional now,” he said. “At some point the Senate is going to be forced to make a deal. They’re just about at that point right now.”
