Vice President Mike Pence departed New York City immediately after President Trump concluded his speech before the United Nations General Assembly Monday morning to attend a Senate policy lunch in Washington, D.C. to help wrangle votes on the latest Obamacare repeal effort.
Pence spent a portion of the morning meeting with Federica Mogherini, foreign affairs and security policy chief at the European Union.
Following Trump’s 40-minute speech before world leaders, Pence left Manhattan and flew out of LaGuardia Airport on Long Island to Washington.
Pence will help Senate GOP leadership find 50 lawmakers in support of the Graham-Cassidy Obamacare overhaul bill. The legislation is Republicans’ last-ditch effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act after multiple failed attempts earlier this year.
