For Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the fight to improve health care isn’t over. But after the Senate voted on Tuesday to start debating legislation to undo the Affordable Care Act, she made a pilgrimage to a sacred place in our nation’s capital.

Warren posted a photo on Instagram of herself and her husband, Bruce Mann, standing in front of Abraham Lincoln’s statue at the Lincoln Memorial. In the caption, she wrote: “I needed to replenish my soul tonight.”

Before the procedural vote, Warren had urged her Republican colleagues to represent the people instead of a party, and encouraged her constituents to make their voices heard.

Though the vote narrowly passed, Republican leaders suffered a setback when, hours later, their repeal-and-replace plan fell well short of the 60 votes it needed. Debate on health care legislation will continue over the next several days.
