House Republicans are in danger of losing a vote on their health care bill, a defeat that would be hugely damaging for the party and President Donald Trump. Trump campaigned on the promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and replace it with "something terrific."

According to a tally by NBC News, at least 27 Republicans have said they are voting against or leaning toward voting against the bill, called the American Health Care Act, as of Tuesday afternoon, about 48 hours before a vote is expected to occur.

Republican leadership has been busy trying to secure the 216 votes necessary to pass the bill, which means they can lose the support of only 21 Republicans. They've made modifications to accommodate both conservative and moderate Republicans who opposed the bill, though those tweaks were panned by physicians' organizations and right-wing groups alike.

After traveling to Capitol Hill Tuesday morning in an attempt to close the deal, Trump has invited about nine moderate, undecided Republicans to the White House Tuesday afternoon in another attempt at persuasion. One congressman on the first iteration of this list, Morgan Griffith (R-VA), is now leaning yes.

Here are the House Republicans who are either against the bill or leaning against it. NBC News will update this list:
