In the wake of the American Health Care Act's failure, Vice President Mike Pence is speaking out about the decision to pull the bill.

On Saturday, Pence blamed their defeat on Democrats and a "handful" of Republicans in the House, claiming "Congress wasn't ready" for the reform.

"Every day Obamacare survives is another day that America suffers," he said.

Calling it a "victory for the status quo" in Washington, Pence went on to say, "I promise you, that victory won't last long. The American people want ObamaCare gone."

The health care bill was pulled before voting took place Friday over a lack of support to push it through.

While President Trump initially hinted that he'd shift his focus to other issues like tax reform, he has since taken to Twitter.

On Sunday, he tweeted, "ObamaCare will explode and we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!"
