Washington (CNN) — Senate Majority leader Harry Reid has scheduled a late afternoon vote Monday to move ahead with a Senate financial reform bill, but Republicans warn they are not prepared to launch debate on the measure.
Leading lawmakers from both parties making the rounds of Sunday political talk shows said a deal is close on a reform bill, but top-ranking Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was among those saying he didn’t expect debate to proceed on Monday.
“We don’t have a bipartisan compromise yet,” McConnell said on “FOX News Sunday.” “But I think there’s a good chance that we’re going to get it.” (cont)
