President Donald Trump continued his social media attacks on Senate Republicans Saturday afternoon, calling on lawmakers to "demand another vote" to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act unless they "are total quitters."

"Unless the Republican Senators are total quitters, Repeal & Replace is not dead! Demand another vote before voting on any other bill!" the president wrote on Twitter.


The Senate failed this past week at its second attempt to overhaul Obamacare, dealing a significant blow to repeal efforts and leaving the Trump administration without any major legislative accomplishments to point to in their first six months.

But some lawmakers aren't giving up just yet either.

Trump met with Sens. Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy and Dean Heller on Friday to continue to hash out a new health care plan. Graham is working on a proposal that would block grant federal health care funding to the states and keep much of Obamacare’s tax regime. It has the support of both Cassidy and Heller.

Earlier Saturday Trump called on lawmakers to end the legislative filibuster, adding that it makes Republicans "look like fools" and are letting "8 Dems totally control the U.S. Senate."

Trump also on Saturday afternoon seemingly warned lawmakers that if a new health care bill is "not approved quickly," he could revoke their health care benefits.

"If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!" the president wrote.
