House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) told members of her caucus to vote their conscience on the debt and deficit cutting bill endorsed by President Barack Obama, effectively signaling she won’t press them to vote yes, lawmakers said after a Democratic caucus meeting.
Rep. G.K. Butterfield, (D., N.C.) said Ms. Pelosi reminded her caucus of the consequences of a federal default, which could follow if Congress doesn’t act to lift the debt ceiling by tomorrow. Mr. Butterfield said he himself is leaning toward a no vote.
Meanwhile, House Speaker John Boehner has delayed a planned statement after a meeting with members of the House Republican caucus. |
