White House Presses Senate Leader on Healthcare amid Feud with Trump
--------------------------------------------------------------------

At the White House, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday
that President Trump would ask Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mc Connell
to try again to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act when Congress
returns from its summer recess next month. The comments came as
President Trump continued to attack Mc Connell on Twitter and amid
reports that a phone call between Trump and Mc Connell earlier this
month devolved into a profane shouting match.
