opposed or leaning against this republican health care plan. they can only afford to lose 21, so if all 27 vote no, this is dead in the water. the president has said as late as last night at a fund raiser that it's a critical vote, that he believes they will win but it is an uphill battle. on the other hand democrats are rallying in the 7th anniversary of obamacare and also going on social media with the facebook live war room to try to get public support. all right. on the hill for us this morning. thank you. all right. sheena is here to tell us about this bizarre way to start the day. kind of mild out there right now. >> yes, it is. >> and then not for long. >> so i put on my heavy puffy coat. i did not need it. you will need it later on. you're going to look a little crazy out there with your big coat right now, but as we go through the day temperatures will take a tumble. the wind will
