U.S. House Democratic leaders have been working to find support from Democrats for a supplemental war spending bill that would set a withdrawal date of U.S. troops from Iraq.
Two members of Minnesota's delegation, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison from the 5th District and U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar from the 8th District, have been undecided, until recently. Congressman Oberstar now says he'll support the bill.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer talked with Oberstar about his decision.
