Article snippet: Eric Trump, President Trump's younger son, said said he wants someone to start fighting for his father. “I want somebody to start fighting for him,” Trump told Fox News’s “Hannity,” on Monday night. Trump’s comments come several days after the Senate failed to pass legislation to repeal and replace ObamaCare, a key campaign promise of both President Trump and congressional Republicans.  “My father has the voice of this country, the people of this country love him. Why wouldn’t they get in line? It doesn’t make sense,” Trump said about Republicans during his Monday interview. President Trump has hammered the GOP since the Senate's failure to pass a healthcare bill last week, and his son boosted that effort in his interview with Sean Hannity. “They would rather see this country fail than see my father succeed,” he added, seeming to refer to Democrats whom he said refused to work with the GOP on healthcare reform.  The Hill 1625 K Street, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 | 202-628-8500 tel | 202-628-8503 fax The contents of this site are ©2017 Capitol Hill Publishing Corp., a subsidiary of News Communications, Inc.
