Republicans are expected to clear the next hurdle Friday to repeal ObamaCare under pressure from President-elect Donald Trump.

The House will vote on a budget measure that creates the process to repeal President Obama’s signature achievement. The measure would direct committees to draft repeal legislation by Jan. 27.

The Senate passed it early Thursday morning in a 51-48 vote. Only GOP Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul joined the vocal opposition from Democrats.

“Congrats to the Senate for taking the first step to #RepealObamacare — now it’s onto the House!” Trump tweeted.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) committed to press forward with the vote Friday, despite concerns from the conservative House Freedom Caucus that there’s no health-care replacement ready to go.
