WASHINGTON — The Senate will not vote on health care legislation before leaving for its summer recess, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday, as he finally acknowledged out loud the inescapable political reality that has been clear for several days.
President Obama brushed aside the delay on Thursday, burying his reaction 20 minutes into a speech he delivered in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, where he traveled to make his case for the urgent need to change the nation’s health care system.
“We just heard today that we may not be able to get the bill out of the Senate by the end of August or the beginning of August,” Mr. Obama told a crowd of more than 1,500 people gathered in a gymnasium. “That’s O.K. I just want people to keep on working. Just keep on working.”
