Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after House Republicans made the decision to delay a vote on their debt bill:

“Hopefully, now the Republicans will come back to the table to negotiate a bipartisan, balanced agreement that is overwhelmingly supported by the American people.
