Pass it or ‘I come after you’: Don

WASHINGTON — President Trump headed to Capitol Hill Tuesday morning to close the sale on repealing Obamacare, warning House Republicans to pass the bill or risk losing their seats in Congress.

“I’m gonna come after you,” Trump half-jokingly warned Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. He later told House Republicans that “many of you will lose your seats” if the bill fails, members who were at the meeting told the Daily News.

Trump said that they could lose the House and his and their legislative agenda will stall out of they can’t pass the bill this week.

“He said, ‘There are consequences,’ there would be significant political consequences to not passing it,” said Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.). “He was kind of critical in a funny way, said, ‘Look, you guys passed these repeals like 60-something times, it got pretty old. And now you have a chance to pass the real thing and you can’t do it? What’s going on here?’ ”

Both conservatives and moderates have expressed concerns about the legislation, but intense pressure from Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) — and some lastminute changes to the bill — may move enough of them in the right direction to pass it in a close vote Thursday.

Meadows laughed off Trump’s cajoling, and said he wasn’t budging.

“I’m not upset at all, I’m glad that I was able to acknowledge in a humorous and hopefully offhanded way that we have a difference, but we still have a friendship,” he said, claiming that while Trump’s visit “swayed a couple” of members, there were at least 20 other solid no votes from the Freedom Caucus.

Both moderate and conservative members said they thought the bill was closer to passage now than a few days ago — and that Trump’s visit to Capitol Hill might make the final difference.

“Donald Trump is a great salesman,” Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), a conservative who had previously expressed reservations about the bill, told The News. “I’d be very surprised if it doesn’t pass.”
