Republicans getting restless for legislative victories

It's nearing July, and the GOP-led Congress is far behind on the promises that helped it hold the majority in 2016 elections.

A bill to repeal and replace Obamacare and legislation to overhaul the tax code, two central pledges made to voters, are nowhere near finished, despite a plan to get it all done by August.

Must-pass spending bills are far behind schedule as well, and a budget deal that reins in federal spending appears elusive.

Republicans are beginning to worry that they are not accomplishing enough and are running out of time to get anything done.

"I hope we can move faster," Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., told the Washington Examiner. "We don't have any legislative achievements. We've been able to appoint some good Cabinet members and a good Supreme Court pick, but as for legislation, we're behind."
