WASHINGTON — Rep. Zach Wamp, R-Tenn., said today he will vote in favor of the Wall Street bailout package when it comes to the House floor on Friday for a vote.

“If some of us don't change our vote, tomorrow's going to be a real ugly day in America, and I don’t want to be a part of that,” Rep. Wamp told Fox News Channel.

Rep. Wamp was one of 228 House members, including Reps. Lincoln Davis, D-Tenn., and Nathan Deal, R-Ga., who defeated the bill on Monday by voting against it. The Senate passed a tweaked version Wednesday night.

Rep. Davis is still undecided whether he will vote for the package, his office said, while a spokesman for Rep. Deal said the congressman at this point remains opposed to the bill.
