"Democrats would do much better as a party if they got together with Republicans on Healthcare,Tax Cuts,Security. Obstruction doesn't work!" Trump tweeted.

On a policy front, Democrats and even some Senate Republicans have complained in recent weeks about the secrecy of changes being made to a healthcare reform bill by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's office. A draft of the bill is expected to be released Thursday morning.

Trump late Tuesday also mocked Democrats for losing five special elections since he was elected president.

On Tuesday night, Republican Karen Handel beat Democrat Jon Ossoff in the special election for Georgia's 6th congressional district, which now-Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price had represented prior to his move to the Cabinet.

Democrats also lost the race for South Carolina's 5th congressional district, where Republican Ralph Norman outperformed Democrat Archie Parnell.
