Not even close. As anticipated, an effort to override President Obama's veto of a bill repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act failed Tuesday, falling far short of the two-thirds majority necessary.
The vote was nearly identical to the December vote to pass the repeal bill, with 241 votes in favor of the override and 186 against.
One Democrat –– Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota –– voted in favor of the veto override.
