The iron-clad confidence is gone. The damage control is underway.Even before the House holds its down-to-the-wire vote on repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, scheduled for this afternoon, the White House is making it clear that it has done all it can. Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who on Thursday expressed complete confidence in the bill’s passage, sounded a different tune on Friday, as Speaker Paul Ryan huddled at the White House with President Donald Trump to discuss a way forward.“The president has been working the phones and having in-person meetings since the American Health Care Act was introduced,” Spicer said.
