criticism. reporter david daniel has the latest. >> one thing many republicans were hoping to celebrate ahead of this july 4th holiday was a vote on the senate health care bill and the end to obamacare. that fell short after senate majority leader mitch mcconnell was forced to delay the vote following a report by the congressional budget office that said 22 million more americans would be uninsured under the gop plan. president trump on friday tweeted, if republican senators were unable to pass the bill, they should immediately repeal obamacare and replace it later. trump's new-found approach was an idea drafted by senator ben sasse to the president in a letter drafted last week. >> if we can do a combined repeal and replace over the next week, that's great. if we can't, there's no reason to walk away. we should do repeal with a delay. >> reporter: not everyone is on board with that, despite the senate's struggle to gain the necessary gop support for the legislation. mcconnell responded to the new idea by saying the senate will

continue to pursue a joint repeal and replace of the affordable care act and stick with that plan. the repeal now, replace later notion isn't just an internal party dispute. senator bernie sanders says that strategy could harm millios of americans by leaving them without coverage. >> i have a lot of respect for senator sasse but is that idea is an absurd idea. the congressional office indicated that if you simply repeal the affordable care act, obamacare, you will throw -- you will throw 32 million americans off health care. >> reporter: facing certain opposition from democrats, if the gop health care bill is to pass, senate republicans will need support from at least 50 of their 52 members. david daniel reporting. overnight the chp arrested the suspect in a friday night crash that claimed the lives of two boys in concord. lemuel wilson. the crash along highway 4 along
