GOP senators expect stimulus vote to be Wednesday
Republican senators say they don't expect a vote on a $2 trillion stimulus package until Wednesday as negotiators continue to refine language in the sprawling bill.
One senior Republican senator said "legislative drafting is going to go late into the night."
A second lawmaker said the emerging consensus within the Senate GOP conference is that while a miracle might happen and a vote is possible tonight, it's more likely that it occurs Wednesday.
GOP leaders are giving colleagues guidance that a vote is most likely Wednesday daytime even though some rank-and-file members want to vote after midnight to give employers guidance as quickly as possible about what assistance they can expect from Washington.
