Senate Republicans are determined to make way on the repeal of Obamacare.
GOP senators are set to return to Washington Monday, and talk with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on which repeal bill to bring up for a procedural vote.
Ultimately, it will be up to McConnell to pick either the House’s partial repeal measure, or the Senate’s own repeal and replace bill.
If the House measure is chosen its unclear what the replacement will be.
President Trump has pushed Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare, but said he would accept its repeal if senators can’t come to an agreement.
The vote’s expected to come as early as Tuesday, and will allow senators to begin debate and make amendments.
