"I have no doubt that that's going to happen very quickly," Trump said at a bipartisan reception held for senators and their spouses at the White House.

"I think it's going to happen, because we've all been promising - Democrat, Republican - we've all been promising that to the American people," he said.

Watch: Trump's healthcare bill was pulled earlier in March.
