[leaders of both parties in the US House of Representatives believe that the debt ceiling bill can be passed by a vote] the leaders of both Republicans and Democrats in the United States said that with the support of moderates, it is believed that the debt ceiling agreement can be passed by the House of Representatives on Wednesday. Tom Emmer, the House majority whip, said earlier Wednesday that he was confident there would be enough votes to pass the bill in the House of Representatives and send it to the Senate for a vote. Senate conservatives may demand several days of debate on the bill, but John Thune, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, said on Wednesday that the Senate is expected to pass the bill by Friday night, a few days ahead of the deadline.
