Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said Wednesday the White House is in the midst of a charm offensive to try to cajole wary conservatives who have criticized the House GOPs health care plan.

I think the White House, the administration, and the president understand that theres enough conservatives that they cant pass Obamacare lite, Mr. Paul said on MSNBCs Morning Joe.

Thats why this week, whats going on behind the scenes is a charm offensive, he said.

Every conservative thats come out publicly opposed to this has been called by the White House and is being cajoled and wooed by the White House to give in, Mr. Paul said.

If we stick together, we will have a force and a negotiation, and we will talk about clean repeal versus replacement, he said. I dont think they have the numbers to pass this at this point.

Mr. Trump had indicated Tuesday he was confident Mr. Paul would come along.

I feel sure that my friend @RandPaul will come along with the new and great health care program because he knows Obamacare is a disaster! the president tweeted Tuesday evening.

Mr. Paul and other conservatives say the House GOP plan unveiled Monday doesnt go far enough in completely repealing Obamacare. Proponents of the House plan say its one step in a multipart process to ultimately unwind the law.
