Punchbowl News: “The House will take the 80-page package this morning. The Rules Committee, which sets the parameters for floor debate, has scheduled a meeting for 7 a.m. Based on our estimates, this should put final passage around noon.”
“Democrats have a 220-210 margin in the House, meaning they can lose four votes and still pass the bill.”
