One of the auto industry's biggest supporters in Congress says he doesn't know if there are enough votes to pass a rescue plan.
Sen. Carl Levin says he is confident that White House and congressional Democrats will complete a deal in the next several days on a $15 billion aid package.
But as for passing that deal, the Michigan Democrat calls that a much more complicated question.
Auto industry supporters fear an impending collapse of General Motors and Chrysler unless immediate government help is provided. Democratic congressional aides are working through the weekend to hammer out details. Votes on the plan are expected this coming week.
Levin appeared on "Fox News Sunday."
