Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump now confronts the single biggest political test of his presidency: whether he can close the deal on the Republican health care bill.

The President met with House Republicans rally reluctant lawmakers to get behind legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. His message: you could lose your seats if you don't vote for the bill.

Trump began by touting the size of his crowd at a rally in Louisville, Kentucky, Monday night, and spoke about how he liked earned media, sources inside the meeting tell CNN. "We won't have these crowds if we don't get this done," he said.

He later said, "I honestly think many of you will lose your seats in 2018 if you don't get this done."

It won't pass the Senate and the House members who vote for it have of their names on it for 2018.
If they vote against it their base goes nuts.
