Facing growing opposition from members of his own party, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has delayed the vote on the Republicans' healthcare bill until after Congress's 4 July recess.

The schedule change is another setback for Donald Trump's effort to repeal and replace Obamacare – officially known as the Affordable Care Act – which he has repeatedly referred to as "dead".

Mr Trump told reporters on Wednesday that "healthcare is working along very well...we're gonna have a big surprise. We have a great healthcare package."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is reportedly trying to revise the healthcare bill by Friday.
