>> ninan: good evening. i'm reena ninan. what's next? that's the big question following president trump's stinging defeat this week on health care. mr. trump, who is spending the weekend in washington, wants to move on to the next item on his to-do list-- tax reform. but haze hiz failure to rally republicans behind a plan to repeal and replace obamacare has raised questions about his ability to clear legislative hurdles. we have two reports tonight on what's next for health care and the president beginning with chip reid. >> reporter: on twitter today, president trump tried to rally his deeply disappointed surptses. "bawsm will comploat," he wrote, and we will get together a plan for the people. do not worry." but an explosion of obamacare is far from guarantee. after cancelling the vote on the republican bill friday, house speaker paul ryan said this: >> obamacare is the law of the land. it will remain the law of the land until it's replaced. >> reporter: he suggested that the house will return to health care but gave no hints too when
6:32 pm

6:34 pm
through obamacare, which we were going to save many billions of dollars, can be used then towards the additional pot for tax reform. >> reporter: but now that republicans have been dealt their first major legislative loz, speaker ryan acknowledges tax reform will not be easy. >> ythis does make tax reform more difficult, but it does not in any way make it impossible. >> reporter: ryan's house conference is split between moderate republicans and the more conservative and vocal freedom caucus. president trump steered clear of criticize anything of them. >> i like speaker ryan. he worked very, very hard. a lot of different groups. he's got a lot of factions. >> reporter: republican senator john mccain, who acknowledged he has yet to meet with president trump, was asked how the new commander in chief could be more effective? mccain said reach across the aisle, listen to advisers and... >> and i guess third of all, stop tweeght.
