Here's a video feed from MSNBC of the action on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives as we move to a final vote on the debt limit deal:
3:19 PM PT: Voting hasn't begun yet?Nancy Pelosi is speaking now. The final vote should begin in a few minutes. One observation that is sort of obvious, even though Pelosi is voting for the bill: this never would have happened had Democrats won the 2010 midterms. We need her back in the Speaker's office.
3:24 PM PT: There's just a couple more minutes left?Republicans are wrapping up now. And after the vote, the House is going to take the rest of August off, leaving the FAA hanging in the balance.
3:28 PM PT: I am not sure what's going on here but there is some sort of procedural move going on where members are being asked to record their presence by a Call of the House.
3:36 PM PT: Cox Radio reporter Jamie Dupree says:
One member of the House Republican Whip team tells me they are "close" to having enough votes for approvalProbably it's more like they are close to figuring out how many of their members they can release from voting for it now that Democrats are picking up some of the slack for their Satan Sandwich.
