House Budget Vote Expected 5:45 PM - Watch Live

George Wenschhof

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) says no Democrat will vote in favor of House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) bill. Which means Boehner can only afford to lose two dozen Republican votes in order for it to pass.

Regardless, the bill is destined to be defeated in the Senate tonight, as all Democratic Senators will vote against.

So much for the bipartisan bill promised by Boehner. The House will remain in session over the weekend as Republican Leaders realize a compromise will be necessary to raise the debt ceiling by the Tuesday August 2 default date.

Stay tuned... You can watch the House debate and vote live below.
