Can the debt deal pass the House of Representatives? House speaker John Boehner has said he believes he has the votes from the Republican caucus, and Steny Hoyer, the Democratic minority whip, says he can deliver 80 to 100 votes from his side of the aisle. Key GOP House members who have said they’ll vote “yes” on the debt deal include Budget committee chairman Paul Ryan, former Republican Study Committee chairs Tom Price and Mike Pence, and Lt. Colonel Allen West.

But some Republican members, including those on the Armed Services committee, are expressing caution over the extent of defense cuts in the deal. Armed Services chairman Buck McKeon said he was “still looking at” the plan as he walked into this afternoon’s House GOP conference meeting. A spokesman said McKeon will have a decision later this evening. (See update below.)
