A busy week in politics was capped off with the unveiling on Thursday of the Republican’s plan to repeal and replace Obamacare. Roll Call’s photographers captured the scrums of reporters surrounding senators for reactions as they made their way through the Capitol.
Earlier in the week, Rep. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., was sworn in after winning the state’s special election to replace the seat previously held by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. And the race to replace Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price‘s House seat in Georgia’s 6th District came to a dramatic conclusion on Tuesday night with a win for Republican Karen Handel.
