Following a meeting with House leadership and Northeastern lawmakers on Wednesday, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said that the House will vote on $9 billion in Hurricane Sandy relief on Friday and again for $51 billion in aid on Jan. 15.

King added that he will support House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) once up for re-election in the new Congress. Boehner canceled a vote on the legislation late Tuesday evening, resulting in a backlash from Northeastern Republicans.
