House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House may vote next week on extending Bush-era tax cuts for most Americans in a pre-election showdown with Republicans over rates that expire at year’s end.
“We will retain the right to proceed as we choose,” Pelosi said today to reporters following the decision by Senate Democratic leaders to postpone a Senate vote on the issue until after the Nov. 2 election. “We will take it one day at a time,” Pelosi, a California Democrat, said in Washington when asked about a possible House vote before the election.
