President Donald Trump on Wednesday sounded less than confident that the House GOP health care bill is on sound footing.

When asked by a reporter at a women in healthcare panel if he will keep trying if the House doesn't successfully repeal and replace Obamacare this week, Trump demurred.


“We’ll see what happens,” Trump responded.

The remark was somewhat tepid compared to others in the administration, who have expressed confidence that the bill would pass through the House. On Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said in a radio interview that the Trump administration would “make this happen,” and during an appearance on an Alabama radio station Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence said the administration was “very confident” they would have enough votes.

Earlier Wednesday, Trump tweeted that he was “Working hard!” on the final day to secure the votes needed to pass the American Health Care Act through the House. The administration has been meeting with legislators to try to secure the number of votes needed to push the bill through, but has still been coming up short ahead of the vote expected on Thursday. Trump has threatened that some Republican legislators might face primary challenges if they do not support the bill.
