Meet 24 Pro-RyanCare Republicans from districts where Trump got a minority of the vote.

These 24 Republicans Were Already Vulnerable—and Now They Just Voted to Repeal Obamacare
They all represent districts where Donald Trump got a minority of the vote.

On Thursday afternoon, the House of Representatives narrowly passed the American Health Care Act, which would repeal the Affordable Care Act and leave in its place...something else. We don't really know what AHCA would do because it passed the House before the Congressional Budget Office could score it. The CBO's report on the earlier iteration of AHCA, which died in the House in March, revealed that it would cause an additional 24 million Americans to go without health insurance by 2026.

As expected, no Democrats voted for AHCA; 217 Republicans did, including some of the most vulnerable members of the caucus.

The bill picked up support from 14 Republicans whose districts were carried by Hillary Clinton in November:

Carlos Curbelo (Fla.): Clinton 56.7–Trump 40.6

David Valadao (Calif.): Clinton 55.2–Trump 39.7

Ed Royce (Calif.): Clinton 51.5–Trump 42.9

Erik Paulsen (Minn.): Clinton 50.8–Trump 41.4

Darrell Issa (Calif.): Clinton 50.7–Trump 43.2

Steve Knight (Calif.): Clinton 50.3–Trump 43.6

Peter Roskam (Ill.): Clinton 50.2–Trump 43.2

Mimi Walters (Calif.): Clinton 49.8–44.4

Martha McSally (Ariz.): Clinton 49.6–Trump 44.7

Jeff Denham (Calif.): Clinton 48.5–Trump 45.5

Pete Sessions (Texas): Clinton 48.5–Trump 46.6

John Culberson (Texas): Clinton 48.5–Trump 47.1

Dana Rohrabacher (Calif.): Clinton 47.9–Trump 46.2

Kevin Yoder (Kans.): Clinton 47.2–Trump 46.0

The bill picked up an additional 10 votes from Republicans in districts where Trump received less than 50 percent of the vote:

Jason Lewis (Minn.): Trump 46.5–Clinton 45.3

Don Bacon (Neb.): Trump 48.2–Clinton 46

David Young (Iowa): Trump 48.5–Clinton 45

Rod Blum (Iowa) Trump 48.7–Clinton 45.2

Randy Hultgren (Ill.): Trump 48.7–Clinton 44.8

Rodney Frelinghuysen (N.J.): Trump 48.8–Clinton 47.9

Scott Taylor (Va.): Trump 48.8–Clinton 45.4

Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.): Trump 49.6–Clinton 47.9

Dave Trott (Mich.): Trump 49.7–Clinton 45.4

Rodney Davis (Ill.) Trump 49.7–Clinton 44.2

Jeff Denham switched as he was a No up until today. He is a mealy-mouth limp dick who is a backbencher with no backbone. In every one of his re-election campaigns, he ran away from his own party. He never identified himself as a Republican, just "A Farmer" .
