Democrats are struggling to find a way to extend the eviction moratorium, which expires at midnight Saturday night, after the White House unexpectedly punted the issue to Congress on Thursday.

But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declined to say Friday that the House would vote on an extension, saying only that it would have to find a solution and that she believed the Centers for Disease Control itself and Prevention could extend the moratorium, without an act of Congress.

We would like the CDC to expand the moratorium. Thats where it can be done, Pelosi told reporters.

No vote had been scheduled as of late morning Friday, with the House set to adjourn for its August recess. Democrats might not have enough votes to extend the moratorium. Asked if there would be a vote on Friday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said, Were counting.

Pelosi told HuffPost, Well see.

Even if House Democrats manage to pass a bill extending the moratorium, it would very likely fail in the Senate, where Republicans are against the policy and Democrats need 60 votes to pass it.
