"I think they've got serious problems with passing that bill in this House," House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told E&E. "I'd be very surprised if we didn't have a strong vote in opposition."

Cantor added that GOP leadership has not settled yet on its floor strategy for amendments to challenge the Democrat-led bill.

Energy and Commerce Committee ranking member Joe Barton (R-Texas) said he expects Democrats will back away from the floor debate.

"It's going to be a close vote either way," Barton said. "Their whip count has to be within 10 votes to bring it up, because there's going to be a bunch of guys on the floor that are only going to vote for it if they need their vote to pass. And if it looks like they can't pass it, it's going to go down pretty big. I think it's still up in the air whether they're going to bring it up or not."
