"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Arizona senator and former Republican presidential nominee John McCain died Saturday at the age of 81. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain leaves behind his wife of 37 years, Cindy; seven children, including three from his first marriage, to Carol Shepp; and his 106-year-old mother, Roberta McCain. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps America's most famous prisoner of war, the former Navy pilot with a famous admiral father was shot down over Vietnam and spent 5 1/2 years as a POW in the north, most of that time in a prison sarcastically termed the Hanoi Hilton for the way inmates were treated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain endured torture at the hands of his captors, a cause he would speak out against 40 years later as a United States senator during the Iraq War following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. McCain even voted against President Trump's nominee to be director of the CIA, Gina Haspel, for her role in overseas detention centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Washington institution, McCain served in the Senate for more than 30 years, first entering public service as a congressman in 1982, just nine years after his release from the Vietnamese prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain released a memoir, \u003cem>The Restless Wave,\u003c/em> earlier this year, and he noted how he wanted to be remembered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I made a small place for myself in the story of America and the history of my times,\" McCain notes, adding, \"What an ingrate I would be to curse the fate that concludes the blessed life I've led. I prefer to give thanks for those blessings, and my love to the people who blessed me with theirs. The bell tolls for me. I knew it would. ... I hope those who mourn my passing, and even those who don't, will celebrate as I celebrate a happy life lived in imperfect service to a country made of ideals, whose continued success is the hope of the world. And I wish all of you great adventures, good company, and lives as lucky as mine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Clashes with Trump\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Arizona senator frequently clashed with President Trump. After McCain said in July 2015 that Trump \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/john-mccain-donald-trump-immigration-phoenix-120216\">fired up the crazies\u003c/a>,\" especially when it came to immigration, Trump fired back. He mocked McCain, saying, \"I like people who weren't captured.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chasm between the two men — one of the party's past and one of its present — centered on more than just personal attacks; it was very much about America's place in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain laid it out in October 2017 during his acceptance speech for the National Constitution Center's Liberty Medal, in which he blasted \"half-baked, spurious nationalism\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain 'the last best hope of earth' for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems, is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Former Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, was a longtime friend of McCain's despite their deep policy differences. Earlier this year, Biden presented an international peace and conflict resolution award to McCain's wife, Cindy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Regardless of any political differences we've had,\" Biden said, \"we've always stood shoulder to shoulder as staunch defenders of that enduring, bipartisan vision for vigorous, engaged American leadership of the liberal international order that was created after World War II. It's a vision that's under attack today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain, who was a thorn in the side of the last three presidents, extended his criticism of Trump to action on subject matters beyond foreign affairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain effectively ended GOP efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act in 2017, signaling his \"no\" vote on a repeal bill with a thumbs-down in the middle of the night on the Senate floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That move widened the gulf between him and the president. Trump would mock McCain at campaign rallies, without mentioning his name, when talking about the failed health care vote. And he \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/911717004222091264\">tweeted his outrage \u003c/a>toward McCain on multiple occasions following the vote. Earlier this month, Trump even declined to use McCain's name during an event about a defense-authorization bill — which had McCain's name on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>An unlikely political comeback\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain overcame a savings-and-loan scandal early in his political career. He and four other senators had pressured regulators to back off their political benefactor Charles Keating. They became known as the \"Keating Five.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating eventually served jail time for fraud. McCain was the only congressman involved to go on to serve long-term. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's amazing he survived that,\" Arizona State University professor Bruce Merrill told \u003ca href=\"https://www.azcentral.com/story/azdc/2014/04/06/keating-five-scandal-dogs-mccain/7328163/\">the Arizona Republic in 2014 following Keating's death\u003c/a>. \"And I guess one could argue that his political skills brought him through that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain's willingness to buck his own party earned him the nickname \"maverick,\" a moniker he wore proudly. But that independent streak — and his famous temper — did not always endear him to party leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1999, McCain clashed with the GOP establishment in his run for president. Texas Gov. George W. Bush, son of former President George H.W. Bush, was seen as the far and away front-runner. But McCain nearly swiped the nomination, trouncing Bush in the New Hampshire primary. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bush saw a massive lead evaporate in the next primary, in South Carolina. But Bush and his supporters in the state used a heavily negative campaign to derail McCain. There was even a whisper campaign that McCain had fathered a black child. McCain has an adopted daughter from Bangladesh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The episode left McCain bitter toward the future president of his own party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McCain and Bush were able to work together on immigration. McCain, a border senator, championed Bush's comprehensive immigration overhaul effort. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It eventually collapsed because of a lack of support from rank-and-file Republicans. And it was something for which McCain had to apologize to the Republican base to win the 2008 presidential nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The 2008 campaign: From \"No, ma'am\" to Sarah Palin and Barack Obama\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2008 campaign, in which McCain received nearly 60 million votes on Election Day, showed McCain's resilience. In the summer of 2007, he was seen as an afterthought in the Republican primaries after his campaign collapsed and ran out of money. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on a shoestring budget and a limited staff, he ran a campaign full of town halls, retail politicking and a particular openness with the media. He wound up overcoming the long odds, displaying the same stubbornness and determination he had shown surviving 5 1/2 years as a tortured prisoner of war that left him with injuries so bad, he walked with a noticeable limp for the rest of his life and could not raise one arm above his shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Great Recession that began in late 2008 and the Iraq War during the Bush years proved impossible for McCain to overcome. McCain, needing a boost, took a chance with his vice presidential pick. He put Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on the ticket. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a move that looked smart early on, as he got a bump in the polls, and Palin would routinely draw larger crowds than McCain himself. There was so much excitement with the base around her being on the ticket, some people would cut off the McCain portion of their McCain-Palin bumper stickers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jolt was short-lived. Palin would make missteps that had a negative affect on the campaign. But her star turn with the base would inspire the outgrowth of the Tea Party, help Republicans take back the House in 2010, and lay a lot of the groundwork that made a Trump presidency possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compounding the difficulty of McCain's campaign was Barack Obama, McCain's Democratic opponent. Obama was young and dynamic and would be the nation's first black president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a notable moment during the campaign, McCain defended Obama's identity against a woman who said she was uncomfortable with Obama, whom she declared an \"Arab.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No, ma'am,\" McCain said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrnRU3ocIH4\">video that went viral\u003c/a>. \"He's a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about. ... I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments. I will respect him. I want everyone to be respectful, and let's make sure we are, because that's the way politics should be conducted in America.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain also showed grace in defeat, praising Obama and focusing the country on the historic nature of his candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sen. Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for his country,\" said McCain, who grew up a generation before the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Back to the Senate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain served 10 more years in the Senate, facing serious primary challenges in 2010 and 2016 that forced him to take more hard-line conservative positions during those campaigns than he had in the past, particularly on immigration and border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also became a critic of the Obama administration's foreign policy, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-aipac-speech-mccain-blames-obamas-feckless-foreign-policy-for-ukraine-crisis/2014/03/03/fd80be54-a2eb-11e3-a5fa-55f0c77bf39c_story.html?utm_term=.78b6fb38ea57\">calling it \"feckless.\"\u003c/a> McCain was especially exasperated by the Obama administration's lack of engagement in Syria, as it fell into civil war. He personally made a trip to the country secretly in 2013 to meet with opposition leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain spent his final years in the Senate as chairman of the Armed Services Committee, championing higher defense spending. He also regained some of his \"maverick\" image as one of the few Republican lawmakers willing to criticize Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The senator has always understood that people in positions of power have a responsibility not only for what they say, but for what people hear,\" said Pablo Carrillo, who worked for McCain for 15 years and served as his chief of staff from 2013 to 2017. \"And in that sense, I think that his approach to governing and leadership would have been guided by that in mind. Indeed, that's something that we are well-served in remembering, especially those with responsibility.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

McCain has an adopted daughter from Bangladesh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The episode left McCain bitter toward the future president of his own party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McCain and Bush were able to work together on immigration. McCain, a border senator, championed Bush's comprehensive immigration overhaul effort. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It eventually collapsed because of a lack of support from rank-and-file Republicans. And it was something for which McCain had to apologize to the Republican base to win the 2008 presidential nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The 2008 campaign: From \"No, ma'am\" to Sarah Palin and Barack Obama\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2008 campaign, in which McCain received nearly 60 million votes on Election Day, showed McCain's resilience. In the summer of 2007, he was seen as an afterthought in the Republican primaries after his campaign collapsed and ran out of money. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on a shoestring budget and a limited staff, he ran a campaign full of town halls, retail politicking and a particular openness with the media. He wound up overcoming the long odds, displaying the same stubbornness and determination he had shown surviving 5 1/2 years as a tortured prisoner of war that left him with injuries so bad, he walked with a noticeable limp for the rest of his life and could not raise one arm above his shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Great Recession that began in late 2008 and the Iraq War during the Bush years proved impossible for McCain to overcome. McCain, needing a boost, took a chance with his vice presidential pick. He put Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on the ticket. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a move that looked smart early on, as he got a bump in the polls, and Palin would routinely draw larger crowds than McCain himself. There was so much excitement with the base around her being on the ticket, some people would cut off the McCain portion of their McCain-Palin bumper stickers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jolt was short-lived. Palin would make missteps that had a negative affect on the campaign. But her star turn with the base would inspire the outgrowth of the Tea Party, help Republicans take back the House in 2010, and lay a lot of the groundwork that made a Trump presidency possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compounding the difficulty of McCain's campaign was Barack Obama, McCain's Democratic opponent. Obama was young and dynamic and would be the nation's first black president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a notable moment during the campaign, McCain defended Obama's identity against a woman who said she was uncomfortable with Obama, whom she declared an \"Arab.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No, ma'am,\" McCain said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrnRU3ocIH4\">video that went viral\u003c/a>. \"He's a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about. ... I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments. I will respect him. I want everyone to be respectful, and let's make sure we are, because that's the way politics should be conducted in America.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain also showed grace in defeat, praising Obama and focusing the country on the historic nature of his candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sen. Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for his country,\" said McCain, who grew up a generation before the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Back to the Senate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain served 10 more years in the Senate, facing serious primary challenges in 2010 and 2016 that forced him to take more hard-line conservative positions during those campaigns than he had in the past, particularly on immigration and border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also became a critic of the Obama administration's foreign policy, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-aipac-speech-mccain-blames-obamas-feckless-foreign-policy-for-ukraine-crisis/2014/03/03/fd80be54-a2eb-11e3-a5fa-55f0c77bf39c_story.html?utm_term=.78b6fb38ea57\">calling it \"feckless.\"\u003c/a> McCain was especially exasperated by the Obama administration's lack of engagement in Syria, as it fell into civil war. He personally made a trip to the country secretly in 2013 to meet with opposition leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain spent his final years in the Senate as chairman of the Armed Services Committee, championing higher defense spending. He also regained some of his \"maverick\" image as one of the few Republican lawmakers willing to criticize Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is McCain's closest friend in the Senate, and said that \"is not based on how he votes but respect for how he's lived his life and the person he is.\" Graham also vowed to \"press on\" with his legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/911307126190100480\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement: \"John McCain shows the same courage in Congress that he showed when he was a naval aviator. I have assured Senator McCain that as soon as repeal is off the table, we Democrats are intent on resuming the bipartisan process.\" An effort by GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, who lead the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, has been put on hold since the Graham-Cassidy bill emerged. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focus now shifts to two female GOP moderates, Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, who joined McCain in ending the last GOP repeal bill in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"k6IdP0G7ZjRpfwFnv6S9d7cVHyBE0ksN\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins is widely believed to be opposed to Graham-Cassidy, as she has voted against all previous versions of GOP repeal bills, but she has not yet made her position on this bill public. She has, however, criticized Graham-Cassidy and echoed McCain's calls for bipartisan efforts to address health care concerns. At an event in Portland, Maine, on Friday morning, she said she was \"leaning against the bill,\" according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressherald.com/2017/09/22/collins-says-shes-leaning-against-voting-for-graham-cassidy-health-care-bill/\">Portland Press Herald\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Likewise, Murkowski voted against the previous GOP health care bills and has not yet declared her position. The Trump administration and GOP Senate leaders have been in ongoing negotiations to try to win her vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If one of the two senators announces opposition to the latest bill, it cannot pass the Senate. GOP leaders have said this is the last attempt they will make to repeal Obamacare ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline, when special budget rules expire that allow Republicans to pass a bill with just 50 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, authored by Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, is the most far-reaching GOP proposal to date to undo Obamacare. The bill repeals key pillars of the law, such as the individual mandate; loosens its federal regulations, like those affecting pre-existing conditions; and fundamentally overhauls Medicaid, changing it from an open-ended federal guarantee to a program of capped funding directly to the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain said his opposition is not based on the substance of the bill but rather how it was put together. \"I would consider supporting legislation similar to that offered by my friends Senators Graham and Cassidy were it the product of extensive hearings, debate and amendment. But that has not been the case,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain cast the decisive vote back in July that derailed an earlier version of the party's health care bill. His vote came just days after he was diagnosed with a severe form of brain cancer, for which he is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments at the National Institutes of Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul's opposition to the bill is based on the Kentucky Republican's belief that it does not truly repeal the Affordable Care Act. \"I won't vote for Obamacare Lite that keeps 90% of the taxes & spending just so some people can claim credit for something that didn't happen,\" Paul tweeted on Friday. Under pressure from Trump and other Republicans to change his mind, Paul added, \"I won't be bribed or bullied.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

I have assured Senator McCain that as soon as repeal is off the table, we Democrats are intent on resuming the bipartisan process.\" An effort by GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, who lead the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, has been put on hold since the Graham-Cassidy bill emerged. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focus now shifts to two female GOP moderates, Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, who joined McCain in ending the last GOP repeal bill in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins is widely believed to be opposed to Graham-Cassidy, as she has voted against all previous versions of GOP repeal bills, but she has not yet made her position on this bill public. She has, however, criticized Graham-Cassidy and echoed McCain's calls for bipartisan efforts to address health care concerns. At an event in Portland, Maine, on Friday morning, she said she was \"leaning against the bill,\" according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressherald.com/2017/09/22/collins-says-shes-leaning-against-voting-for-graham-cassidy-health-care-bill/\">Portland Press Herald\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Likewise, Murkowski voted against the previous GOP health care bills and has not yet declared her position. The Trump administration and GOP Senate leaders have been in ongoing negotiations to try to win her vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If one of the two senators announces opposition to the latest bill, it cannot pass the Senate. GOP leaders have said this is the last attempt they will make to repeal Obamacare ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline, when special budget rules expire that allow Republicans to pass a bill with just 50 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, authored by Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, is the most far-reaching GOP proposal to date to undo Obamacare. The bill repeals key pillars of the law, such as the individual mandate; loosens its federal regulations, like those affecting pre-existing conditions; and fundamentally overhauls Medicaid, changing it from an open-ended federal guarantee to a program of capped funding directly to the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain said his opposition is not based on the substance of the bill but rather how it was put together. \"I would consider supporting legislation similar to that offered by my friends Senators Graham and Cassidy were it the product of extensive hearings, debate and amendment. But that has not been the case,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain cast the decisive vote back in July that derailed an earlier version of the party's health care bill. His vote came just days after he was diagnosed with a severe form of brain cancer, for which he is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments at the National Institutes of Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul's opposition to the bill is based on the Kentucky Republican's belief that it does not truly repeal the Affordable Care Act. \"I won't vote for Obamacare Lite that keeps 90% of the taxes & spending just so some people can claim credit for something that didn't happen,\" Paul tweeted on Friday. Under pressure from Trump and other Republicans to change his mind, Paul added, \"I won't be bribed or bullied.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update at 4:05 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. John McCain, diagnosed with a deadly form of brain cancer just five days ago, returned to applause on the Senate floor Tuesday, where he cast a crucial vote to move forward on repeal of the Affordable Care Act and urged his colleagues to regain their sense of bipartisan cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the longtime Arizona senator, two-time presidential candidate and perhaps America’s most famous former prisoner of war, warned that he “will not vote for this bill as it is today,” describing it as “a shell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain said he would attend the Senate for a few days and then go home to Arizona to recuperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have every intention of returning here to give you all reason to regret the nice things you said about me,” he told his fellow senators, addressing the outpouring of support he’s received since announcing his diagnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a remarkable moment, to see McCain, whose daughter described him poetically as a “warrior at dusk,” take his place again in the “world’s greatest deliberative body,” where he has represented his Southwestern state for 30 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain, with surgical stitches clearly visible above his left eye, admonished both Republicans and Democrats to work together in the old way and to stop trying to make laws “behind closed doors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He acknowledged that it was easy to fall victim to the urge to win instead of doing what is right. “Merely preventing your political opponents from getting what they want isn’t very inspiring,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he advised strongly: “Stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the television, radio and internet. The hell with them!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw4RqZAKa5A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, McCain’s vote, along with a tiebreaker from Vice President Mike Pence, gave Republicans the 51 votes they needed for the “motion to proceed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A motion to proceed is what it sounds like — a measure to allow debate to begin. There will be 20 hours of debate, which will expire Wednesday, NPR’s Susan Davis reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans could only lose two votes for a majority without any Democratic support. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, both voted no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the motion-to-proceed vote and the ensuing debate, no one is quite sure — not even Republicans — what of substance the GOP will try to pass to overhaul health care, which affects roughly one-sixth of the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, promised to bring a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act with a two-year delay to the floor, which President Trump seemed to be on board with. But, up to this point, the votes aren’t there for that approach; too many Republicans have come out publicly opposing the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then what? If the full repeal isn’t brought to the floor, or if it fails, then it’s on to the Senate’s version of no-holds barred — a “vote-o-rama,” where anyone can bring any amendment to the floor and have it voted on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would be kind of like doing the work normally done for months in committees out on the Senate floor in a matter of hours and days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”A1BV4vIZp3nWCZPcR9pkrpepufcyYqww”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is just the latest chapter in Republicans’ difficulty replacing the ACA, also known as Obamacare. Legislatively, they have been plagued by starts and stops during the Trump presidency, unable to get their differing ideological factions on the same page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obamacare is the law of the land,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., declared after the House’s health care flameout months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, through arm twisting and legislative tweaks, the House eventually passed a version that tinkered with the ACA. The Congressional Budget Office said the law would increase the number of uninsured by tens of millions, especially because of how it would change Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless it was a political victory, if only a lead at halftime. It was greeted by Bud Lights in the House and a Rose Garden celebration with the president of the United States. There was no “45” jersey with GOP on the front and “Trump” on the back, but there might as well have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One would have thought a new law had been signed. It hadn’t. The House version was headed to the Senate, where it would certainly change and have to be reconciled with the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to the drawing board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three months later, that Rose Garden ceremony remains the high point for Republicans. The GOP has not been able to gather the votes in the Senate — and that has started to really rankle Trump. His irritation was evident during his appearance Monday at the Boy Scouts National Jamboree in West Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the Scout law says, a Scout is trustworthy, loyal,” Trump said. He added, “We could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who was on stage with him, Trump said, “Hopefully he’s going to get the votes tomorrow to start our path toward killing this horrible thing known as Obamacare that’s really hurting us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spoke of Price as if he were McConnell, as if he had some control over whipping the votes on health care. Price wasn’t even a senator before joining Trump’s Cabinet; he was a member of the House from Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went on: “By the way, are you going to get the votes? He better get them. He better get them. Oh, he better. Otherwise, I’ll say, ‘Tom, you’re fired.’ I’ll get somebody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Trump turned to Price, smiling, as if to say, “Only kidding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or maybe not. That came on the same day he called his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, “beleaguered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday morning, he tweeted criticism of Sessions, calling him “weak” on Hillary Clinton and “leakers” from the intelligence community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/889790429398528000\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to the Scouts, Trump wasn’t quite done yet: “He better get Sen. [Shelley Moore] Capito to vote for it. He better get the other senators to vote for it. It’s time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that time, Capito, a West Virginia Republican, was one of the holdouts on voting for what Republicans have so far proposed when it comes to health care. She was one of a dozen or so senators who had not committed to even voting for the motion to proceed. (During Tuesday’s vote, she did support the motion.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Boy Scouts is supposed to be an apolitical organization, and after the speech, the group put out a statement saying it does not endorse any candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has begun referring to Republicans as “they” and “you” (“they” promised to repeal and replace Obamacare for seven years; “you” didn’t do it). It’s a remarkable effort to separate himself from the party he is supposed to lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He tweeted that any senator who votes against the motion to proceed is for Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he seemed to threaten them politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/889599425458327552\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where any of this goes is anyone’s guess. But as a nation watches a new president who is blowing through with Twitter maelstroms and appears ready to politically fire in all directions, the Senate paused for a few moments Tuesday to recognize a man in McCain who means something very different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then it was back to the wind — with Trump, speaking immediately after McCain’s remarks on the Senate floor, about how no Democrats had voted in favor of the Republican effort to undo Obamacare and reaffirming his recent negative comments about Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

John McCain, diagnosed with a deadly form of brain cancer just five days ago, returned to applause on the Senate floor Tuesday, where he cast a crucial vote to move forward on repeal of the Affordable Care Act and urged his colleagues to regain their sense of bipartisan cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the longtime Arizona senator, two-time presidential candidate and perhaps America’s most famous former prisoner of war, warned that he “will not vote for this bill as it is today,” describing it as “a shell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain said he would attend the Senate for a few days and then go home to Arizona to recuperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have every intention of returning here to give you all reason to regret the nice things you said about me,” he told his fellow senators, addressing the outpouring of support he’s received since announcing his diagnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The hell with them!”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Cw4RqZAKa5A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Cw4RqZAKa5A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Meanwhile, McCain’s vote, along with a tiebreaker from Vice President Mike Pence, gave Republicans the 51 votes they needed for the “motion to proceed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A motion to proceed is what it sounds like — a measure to allow debate to begin. There will be 20 hours of debate, which will expire Wednesday, NPR’s Susan Davis reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans could only lose two votes for a majority without any Democratic support. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, both voted no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the motion-to-proceed vote and the ensuing debate, no one is quite sure — not even Republicans — what of substance the GOP will try to pass to overhaul health care, which affects roughly one-sixth of the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, promised to bring a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act with a two-year delay to the floor, which President Trump seemed to be on board with. But, up to this point, the votes aren’t there for that approach; too many Republicans have come out publicly opposing the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then what? If the full repeal isn’t brought to the floor, or if it fails, then it’s on to the Senate’s version of no-holds barred — a “vote-o-rama,” where anyone can bring any amendment to the floor and have it voted on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would be kind of like doing the work normally done for months in committees out on the Senate floor in a matter of hours and days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is just the latest chapter in Republicans’ difficulty replacing the ACA, also known as Obamacare. Legislatively, they have been plagued by starts and stops during the Trump presidency, unable to get their differing ideological factions on the same page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obamacare is the law of the land,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., declared after the House’s health care flameout months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, through arm twisting and legislative tweaks, the House eventually passed a version that tinkered with the ACA. The Congressional Budget Office said the law would increase the number of uninsured by tens of millions, especially because of how it would change Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless it was a political victory, if only a lead at halftime. It was greeted by Bud Lights in the House and a Rose Garden celebration with the president of the United States. There was no “45” jersey with GOP on the front and “Trump” on the back, but there might as well have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One would have thought a new law had been signed. It hadn’t. The House version was headed to the Senate, where it would certainly change and have to be reconciled with the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to the drawing board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three months later, that Rose Garden ceremony remains the high point for Republicans. The GOP has not been able to gather the votes in the Senate — and that has started to really rankle Trump. His irritation was evident during his appearance Monday at the Boy Scouts National Jamboree in West Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the Scout law says, a Scout is trustworthy, loyal,” Trump said. He added, “We could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who was on stage with him, Trump said, “Hopefully he’s going to get the votes tomorrow to start our path toward killing this horrible thing known as Obamacare that’s really hurting us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spoke of Price as if he were McConnell, as if he had some control over whipping the votes on health care. Price wasn’t even a senator before joining Trump’s Cabinet; he was a member of the House from Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went on: “By the way, are you going to get the votes? He better get them. He better get them. Oh, he better. Otherwise, I’ll say, ‘Tom, you’re fired.’ I’ll get somebody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Trump turned to Price, smiling, as if to say, “Only kidding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or maybe not. That came on the same day he called his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, “beleaguered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday morning, he tweeted criticism of Sessions, calling him “weak” on Hillary Clinton and “leakers” from the intelligence community.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He better get the other senators to vote for it. It’s time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that time, Capito, a West Virginia Republican, was one of the holdouts on voting for what Republicans have so far proposed when it comes to health care. She was one of a dozen or so senators who had not committed to even voting for the motion to proceed. (During Tuesday’s vote, she did support the motion.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Boy Scouts is supposed to be an apolitical organization, and after the speech, the group put out a statement saying it does not endorse any candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has begun referring to Republicans as “they” and “you” (“they” promised to repeal and replace Obamacare for seven years; “you” didn’t do it).
