Senators Mike Lee and Jerry Moran have withdrawn their support from Trump's ambitious project, many have stated is a move to belittle former President Barack Obama.

Denouncing his support, Lee's statement read: "In addition to not repealing all of the Obamacare taxes, it doesn’t go far enough in lowering premiums for middle class families; nor does it create enough free space from the most costly Obamacare regulations."

Moran said that the bill "fails to repeal the Affordable Care Act or address healthcare’s rising costs."

By protesting against the repeal, Lee and Moran joined Rand Paul and Susan Collins, both senators, who too opposed the move.

For Trump, his republican party with just 52 seats needed at least 50 votes for the bill to pass.

However, the US president has urged his party members to repeal the 'failing Obamacare' and work towards a new healthcare.

"Republicans should just REPEAL failing ObamaCare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in!," his tweet read.

Meanwhile, sensing a victory for them, the Democrats said that Republicans should work hand in hand with them and look to create a better healthcare bill.

"This second failure of Trumpcare is proof positive that the core of this bill is unworkable," Minority leader Charles E. Schumer said.

"Rather than repeating the same failed, partisan process yet again, Republicans should start from scratch and work with Democrats on a bill that lowers premiums, provides long-term stability to the markets and improves our health-care system,” Schumer added.

However, Republican senator from Arizona John McCain said that the Obamacare was made without consulting his party.

"One of the major problems with Obamacare was that it was written on a strict party-line basis and driven through Congress without a single Republican vote. As this law continues to crumble in Arizona and states across the country, we must not repeat the original mistakes that led to Obamacare’s failure,” he said.

Following Trump's incessant attacks, Obama took to social media to clarify his stance on the healthcare debate.

"After all, this debate has always been about something bigger than politics. It’s about the character of our country – who we are, and who we aspire to be. And that’s always worth fighting for," his Facebook post read.

He did not mince any words either as he took the Republicans to task, stating that the latter's solitary goal is to undo everything that he and his party did.

"I recognize that repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act has become a core tenet of the Republican Party. Still, I hope that our Senators, many of whom I know well, step back and measure what’s really at stake, and consider that the rationale for action, on health care or any other issue, must be something more than simply undoing something that Democrats did," the post read.
