As Twitchy told you earlier, House GOP-ers have postponed the vote on the contentious AHCA, reportedly until tomorrow morning. But according to OMB Director Mick Mulvaney, who met with the president this afternoon, Trump isn’t in the mood to let this fight drag out any longer:
NEWS: MULVANEY: TRUMP is done negotiating and wants a vote on the AHCA tomorrow, per a source in the room.

Mulvaney told House Republicans that Trump is done negotiating and wants a vote on health care tomorrow, per @AlexNBCNews

Trump will move on & leave Obamacare in place if he doesn't get AHCA vote, per Mulvaney
— John Bresnahan (@BresPolitico) March 23, 2017
MULVANEY: if the AHCA vote fails, nation is stuck w Obamacare. In other words, trump is done. Negotiations are over.

Mulvaney said the president is done with negotiations. Told members this is the deal. Take or leave it.

Then he's surrendering 2020 election. If it collapses on his watch GOP is toast. https://t.co/ophHld0thr

Parting question:
Is Trump promising to veto future legislation that might repeal Obamacare containing meaningful, cost-reducing, patient-empowering reforms? https://t.co/wIW7BykKEF

Update:
GOP Rep. Mark Meadows is still claiming that Obamacare will be repealed as promised:
