President Trump's Twitter attacks on some of the media have been dominating headlines, but Senate Republicans are trying to stay on course with a key element of the president's agenda: repealing and replacing Obamacare.
The GOP faced some setbacks on replacing President Obama's Affordable Care Act last week, so now they're considering a new strategy.

Some senators say one option is to repeal Obamacare now while they work to come up with a replacement.



"We don't repeal the regulations. We don't repeal the subsidies. Now there are Republicans getting so weak-kneed they don't repeal the taxes. What happened to these people? They all were for appealing Obamacare," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. said in an interview on Fox News.



President Trump agreed, tweeting: "If Republican senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately repeal, and then replace at a later date!"



But the president's agenda was overshadowed by his ongoing smackdown of the media.
On Sunday morning, Trump tweeted a video from an old WWE match. In the edited video, the president takes down a man who has a CNN logo over his face.
