WASHINGTON—House Republican leaders projected confidence Wednesday that they would pass their bill raising the nation’s $31.4 trillion borrowing limit in exchange for deep cuts in government spending, saying a final vote could occur soon.
“We can vote as early as today on this,” said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R., La.). “We want to get this done as soon as possible.” In a closed–door House Republican conference meeting, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) said that he wanted to pass the bill on Wednesday, according to a person in the room.
