The House is prepared to deliver on two of Donald Trump's campaign promises — repealing Obamacare and cutting taxes — within the first six months of his presidency, the congressional liaison for the transition team told CNBC on Wednesday.
Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., said he expects to put a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act on Trump's desk by the end of next month.
"We're going to [vote to] repeal it, much like we did six months ago. Obviously, we put it on Obama's desk. He vetoed that, fully expected. But this time, when it goes on President Trump's desk, he's indicated he's absolutely going to sign off," Collins said on "Squawk Box."
Vice President-elect Mike Pence on Wednesday is set to meet with Republicans on Capitol Hill to map out an Obamacare repeal strategy.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama, also on Wednesday, plans to sit down with congressional Democrats to talk about ideas to combat the GOP effort.
