Congressional leaders are presenting the plan to their caucuses today in the hopes of a vote before Tuesday’s deadline to raise the federal debt ceiling. The top Democrat in the House, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, said she cannot guarantee House Democrats will support the deal.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: This bill has a long future, nine years, 10 years, whatever it turns out to be, has ramifications even beyond that decade. So, we’ll all have to take a look. And we all may not be able to support it, or none of us may be able to support it, but we will wait and see, and we’re open to what comes down because, again, the stakes are very high here.”
