President Trump has long declared the ACA, also known as Obamacare, to be a "disaster" and the brief is the latest attempt by his administration to weaken President Barack Obama's signature health-care law.

If you're not a political junkie , Tuesday's primary election in California may seem a bit of a snooze. But the consequences for statewide and national politics are significant.

Bob Corker.
