President Trump lashed out at Republican dissenters overnight, tweeting, “3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down. As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal.

Murkowski broke ranks to oppose the Republican healthcare effort. Sen. Murkowski appeared to retaliate by postponing a vote on six of Trump’s nominees for posts at the Energy and Interior departments.
