Nearly an hour before the scheduled vote, House Speaker Paul Ryan pulled the bill. In a press conference shortly after the decision, Ryan cited flaws in the bill that needed to be addressed.

President Trump offered a few statements on the day’s actions:

“We had no votes from the Democrats,” Trump said.

He passed along the blame both the AHCA’s failure to proceed and the ACA’s failures to Democrats:

Trump also praised Ryan as well as other members of his team for their work leading up to Friday:

Trump also thanked the Republican Party and touted himself as a “team player.”

He had faith that the American people would “end up with a truly great health care bill,” in the future.

Republican members of the House Freedom Caucus had vocally opposed the AHCA alongside several prominent conservative groups.

Trump also addressed these Republicans in his remarks:

Trump said that he was “disappointed” and “a little surprised,” but had faith that “a better bill” would come out of the day’s actions.

Some days earlier, White House Press Secretary Spicer ominously warned that the Trump administration would remember “those who stood by [them]” on the AHCA. Trump himself also reportedly gave a similar warning to the Republican opposition to the bill.

A CNN source disclosed that Trump reportedly said “he will have football-stadium events in states where he won by 10-12 points, and he is going to dare people to vote against him” during a White House meeting with various Republican groups.

Following the statements, the Trump team met with the House Freedom Caucus. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman, said that the Freedom Caucus was “really trying to get to yes” with the administration on a bill that would distinguish itself from the ACA:
