The House is supposed to vote on the Democratic measure this week. But the text hasn't been released yet. And we're told there are serious concerns within leadership ranks about the proposal. The House leadership doesn't currently have the votes to pass the bill given the number of rank-and-file Democrats who are"actively opposed," according to one source—especially in the face of what looks like solid GOP opposition. A lot could change between now and later this week, but that's where things stand at this moment.
So there's a question of whether this bill even comes to the floor. Several senior Democratic aides told us they're skeptical the legislation will be voted upon during a three-day workweek right at the end of the fiscal year.
