House GOP leaders expect “very strong” Republican support for the emergency war supplemental set for a vote on Tuesday afternoon.

After voting against the measure when it was weighed down with extra spending for teachers and other domestic items, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he intended to support a cleaned-up version of the bill approved by the Senate.

Boehner’s deputy, Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.), said that he anticipated a strong GOP aye vote.

“We expect a very strong Republican support of this supplemental,” the House GOP’s top vote-counter told reporters on Tuesday morning.
