Reid has the votes
May 18, 2010 | federal legislation, industry | Comments (0)From The Hill:
Senate Democratic leadership says it has the votes to end debate on the financial regulatory reform bill.
With a cloture vote looming for Wednesday morning, Senate Majority Leader Harry (D-Nev.) said several Republicans have told him they will vote to wrap up debate on the Wall Street overhaul legislation.
When asked if he expected Republicans to vote to end debate, Reid responded “Oh sure.”
Although he didn’t estimate how many he said, “a number of Senators, Republican Senators, have told me they will vote for cloture.”
So the bill will pass. The question is, what amendments will they agree to?
