WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said on Wednesday the Senate would take up the Obamacare replacement bill he co-sponsored next week, an NBC reporter said on Twitter.

The reporter said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell’s office subsequently said no announcement had been made on next week’s floor schedule, but it neither confirmed nor disputed Graham’s statement.
