NBC News’ Chuck Todd reports that Rep. Bart Stupak is now poised to support HCR legislation in the House:
The chances for House passage increased Sunday afternoon after a possible agreement between Democratic leaders and Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., who had led a group of anti-abortion lawmakers in opposing the bill, was revealed.
Stupak is now poised to support the bill, NBC’s Chuck Todd reported. Stupak told CNN that there is no deal yet but that he and the White House are “close” to an agreement. “It’s a work in progress,” he said.
If this agreement materializes, Democrats are poised to surpass the 216 mark in this historic legislation.
