Speaker Mike Johnson will allow a vote on a $78 billion business and child tax break bill, siding with corporations over a group of Republicans who objected to the package negotiated with Senate Democrats.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise officially announced the bill will come up for a vote on Wednesday. A two-thirds majority will be needed to pass it and prospects for its passage are good.
