House Speaker John Boehner is only two to six votes short of having enough votes to pass his bill to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending, a member of the House GOP said Friday.
Since the vote was called off late Thursday night, “there’s been momentum picked up overnight,” Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), a member of the Ways and Means Committee. “I feel like we’re pretty close. I think we get there – I think it’s important we get there.”
Buchanan said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he thinks Boehner could get enough votes to make up for the deficit of as many as a dozen votes that he was reported to have on Thursday night.
Buchanan said Boehner still needed between two and six votes to pass the bill.
