The House approved Thursday a procedural vote for the government spending bill that would defund Obamacare.
The resolution, approved 228 to 189, suspends the House’s rules for the spending bill and sets one hour of debate on the floor. House Speaker John Boehner told reporters Thursday that the bill would be brought up for a vote Friday.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the House bill was “dead” in that chamber, and the White House has pledged to veto it.
