The late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., cast one of the deciding votes against a “skinny repeal” of the ACA in the summer of 2017, but his replacement Mr. Kyl might be more likely to side with GOP leaders on the matter. Nevertheless, Mr. McConnell said the GOP has other legislative priorities this year.
“The agenda for the month is already set. We have our plate full through the end of the fiscal year,” said Mr. McConnell, according to The Hill. “We’ll have to pass the three appropriations conference reports, pass the farm bill, confirm a Supreme Court justice and then do some kind of continuing resolution for the roughly 10 percent of the budget left unappropriated before the end of the year.”
