The House on Friday canceled a scheduled vote on the Republican bill to repeal and replace the 2010 health care law, in what could be a catastrophic blow to the party’s seven-year campaign against the law.

Cheers could be heard from the House Democratic cloakroom as the news spread.

President Donald Trump told House Speak Paul Ryan to pull the bill during a 3 p.m. meeting between the two, a GOP leadership aide said.

Shortly after that meeting the House was abruptly declared in recess. House Democrats chanted, “Vote. Vote. Vote.”

Moderates and conservatives banded together to prevent the controversial package, introduced just three weeks ago, from coming to a full vote on the house floor. More than a dozen lawmakers had made public statements opposing the bill by early Friday, and many more suggested to reporters they were leaning toward “no.”
