Lawmakers set up extenders for same-day rule

Hoyer wouldn’t provide specifics of the talks but some Democrats have raised questions about the bill’s cost, as well as the carried interest and “doc” fix provisions. Only $56 billion of the measure is paid for, leaving some Democrats to hold out support. 

Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), vice chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said the House is trying to coordinate with the Senate to ensure the bill has enough votes across the Capitol to send it to the White House. 

Earlier today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he expected the bill to reach the Senate sometime Wednesday. The Senate could stay in session through the weekend to complete work on the bill, Reid told reporters today.
