President Donald Trump called out Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for failing to pass a bill that would have repealed and replaced part of Obamacare in a tweet on Aug. 24.

“The only problem I have with Mitch McConnell is that, after hearing Repeal & Replace for 7 years, he failed! That should NEVER have happened!,” Trump wrote, referring to the American Health Care Act bill in the senate.
