Washington, DC – Tennessee Republican Bob Corker has played a major role in the Senate's effort to fix the nation's financial system. But he says isn't sure he can vote to move forward reform legislation. Sara Sciammacco has more from Washington.
Senator Corker called the reform bill that's taking shape "harmful" and says it will not give the US financial stability. Republicans are angry over some regulatory provisions that they say overreach. Senate lawmakers are set to vote on cloture - which would end debate on the bill. Corker says he hasn't made up his mind whether he can cast an "aye" vote.
"This is unlike typical cloture votes where it is just to shut things down and to really close off debate. We continue to have votes and I think we'll have more. So what happens after that post cloture? Are there still going to be numbers of amendments?" Corker asked.
The Democrats are expected to have enough votes to push the reform bill forward to a floor vote. Lawmakers continue to make changes to the legislation to appease members on both sides of the aisle who are undecided. Corker says he expects some Republicans to support the final package.
