from the senate passing the agreement. >> reporter: that's right. this happened in the wee hours of the morning. that vote happened around 2:00 in the morning. but it was a long night but when we saw vice president joe biden make his way to capitol hill, that's when many of the observers knew that the negotiators had really struck a deal and we were moving forward here. of course vice president joe biden as well as senate republican leader mitch mcconnell were key in negotiating this deal. they are being referred to as the closeers here. so this all happened last night. joe biden met with fellow democrats and briefed them on where they were as far as the compromise. legislation was then drawn up and the senate met arounded 2 -- did around the 2:00 hour and cast the votes and that's where we are today. now, we are not out of the woods yet because the house

still need to vote on this measure. and they will not return to capitol hill until noon so we don't know how the story ends just quite as yet charley. >> renee as we understand yesterday presidentth president addressed the nation at 1:30 and this was on new year's eve he was surrounded by a few supporters. he came out for about 15 minutes and made some remarks. this was a direct message was it not to members of congress saying get a deal done. >> reporter: it was. and we saw backlash just moments after the president came out and spoke. there were some senators who felt as if that was not the right time for the president to do that almost bullying them into getting this all done senator john mccain not happy with the president's words as well one senator tweeting out that if the president thinks this is going to help the process he is actually wrong. but in the end, despite push

back, and the strong words used from the president, they were able to get it done but the country did technically go over the fiscal cliff. but they are working to fix everything so that we don't feel the pain of going over the fiscal cliff. so, how will the house vote? that's the big question coming in to today. and the short answer is we are not sure because house leaders put out a statement following the vote in the senate and they gave no promises. they simply said that they will consider is coming to them. they will read it and they will make their decision after that. but no indication whether they will do as the senate did or will they go the other way. >> vice president said you can never guess how the house will vote. renee marsh with us live in dc thanks for the time. in news around nation, a parking lot scuffle gets nasty in the state of georgia.
