The following is a list of representatives who switched their votes in favor of Congress’s Wall Street bailout package after voting “no” on a previous version of the bill Monday.
Party leaders pushed hard all week for passage of the bill, which, if signed by President Bush, will grant the Treasury Department authority to spend up to $700 billion in increments on the purchase of toxic, mortgage-based assets from failing U.S. financial firms. An earlier version failed in the House 205-228 Monday; today’s version, which was passed by the Senate with added provisions earlier this week, passed by a margin of 263-171, as leaders won an additional 58 votes total from their caucuses.
