Debt limit bill faces opposition from GOP hard-liners and swing votes.

Congressional leaders are scrambling to secure votes for a bipartisan compromise to avert a catastrophic debt default with just a week to go before the June 5 deadline. Republican hard-liners in both chambers have criticized the deal, setting the stage for a contentious showdown Tuesday in the House Rules Committee, which is scheduled to consider the bill before an expected vote in the full House on Wednesday. If the House passes the bill Wednesday, the Senate would have five days to pass it by the deadline next Monday.
