DescriptionGOP Sen. Charles Grassley (Iowa) admitted Wednesday that a full repeal of President Obama's healthcare law will die in the Senate.

Speaking to Iowa radio station KCIM, the current ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee conceded that Senate Republicans do not have the 60 votes necessary to force through a full repeal.

"I think the House will pass a repeal of the Obamacare. But I believe it will die in the Senate because there's not 60 votes in the Senate for it," he said. "And even if it passed Congress, I think the president would veto it and so we wouldn't get two-thirds to ride the veto."
