First son Eric Trump said said he wants someone to start fighting for his father.

“I want somebody to start fighting for him,” Trump told Fox News’s “Hannity,” on Monday night.

“How much weight does he have to carry by himself?”

Trump’s comments come several days after the Senate failed to pass legislation to repeal and replace ObamaCare, a key campaign promise of both President Trump and congressional Republicans.

“My father has the voice of this country; the people of this country love him. Why wouldn’t they get in line? It doesn’t make sense,” Trump said about Republicans during his Monday interview.

President Trump has hammered the GOP since the Senate's failure to pass a healthcare bill last week, and his son boosted that effort in his interview with Sean Hannity.



“They would rather see this country fail than see my father succeed,” he added, seeming to refer to Democrats whom he said refused to work with the GOP on healthcare reform.
