President Donald Trump now confronts the single biggest political test of his presidency: whether he can close the deal on the Republican health care bill.
The President met with House Republicans to rally those reluctant to get behind legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. His message in the closed-door meeting: "I honestly think many of you will lose your seats in 2018 if you don't get this done."
Today is also Day 2 of confirmation hearings for Neil Gorsuch, and it's going to be a long one.
Senators on the Judiciary Committee get their first chance to publicly ask him questions, and Democrats are already grilling the Supreme Court nominee.
"There's no such thing as a Republican judge or a Democratic judge. We just have judges," Gorsuch said in his first answer to the panel.
Separately, press secretary Sean Spicer is scheduled to hold the White House daily briefing at 1:30 p.m. ET.
