Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) predicted Sunday that their background checks compromise will get a vote on the Senate floor on Wednesday. 

“I really believe strongly, as Sen. Manchin has said, if people will actually read the bill, which has been posted online since Thursday evening, we’ll probably have a vote on Wednesday — it will have been available for a week,” Toomey said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” where he appeared with Manchin. “I think they’ll see it’s a very reasonable, common sense measure to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them.”
