Deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday insisted President Donald Trump’s administration had a good day on Tuesday despite the delay of a vote on a bill to partially repeal Obamacare.

“If I can ask you about yesterday, you’ve had a day to sort of look back. Did you go to the gym and hit the heavy bag? Did you laugh it off?” a reporter asked Sanders during her off-camera, audio-only briefing. “I was wondering what you’re thinking and feeling a day later?”

“I think that the White House had a great day yesterday,” Sanders replied.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Tuesday announced the Senate will not vote on its bill to repeal Obamacare until after the July 4 recess. McConnell’s announcement came amid defections from hardline and moderate conservatives, the latest in a series of congressional roadblocks to one of Trump’s biggest policy pledges.

    If she thought that Tuesday was great, then she’s really gonna love the second Tuesday of next November.

  5. “I think that the White House had a great day yesterday,” Sanders replied.

    Is she talking about the inanimate object at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or the inane object that occupies it?
