It looks like President Obama's unpopular tax deal with Republicans will come up for a vote sometime next week, but getting his own party to vote for it may be a challenge.
The vote would extend expiring Bush-era tax rates to all taxpayers for two years, and extend jobless benefits and cut payroll taxes.
At least 50 democrats have signed a letter opposed to the plan, with some even threaten a filibuster to delay the vote.
