Republicans delay vote on Boehner debt bill
None
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday delayed a vote a short-term bill to raise the nation's debt limit by $900 billion, Democratic sources said.
An aide to House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Steny Hoyer, the Democrat's top vote counter in the House, had told his party members that Republicans had decided to postpone the vote. Republicans had been trying to rally up enough support to pass the bill, but the vote was expected to be close. (Reuters)
