Warren: 'Phones ringing off the hook' over ObamaCare repeal push
8:55 p.m.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said her office has gotten a barrage of phone calls as Republicans prepare to force a vote this summer on repealing and replacing ObamaCare.
"We've gotten an avalanche of voicemails and phones ringing off the hook. Since last week I have gotten more than a 1,000 phone calls from people who are pleading with me to do whatever I can to stop Republicans," Warren, who represents a solidly blue state, said from the Senate floor.
