wp_query display posts based on day

Question

I am trying to get all posts to be displayed on a certain date.

For example today Tuesday I want all posts to be displayed. It doesn't matter that the posts were created today (Tuesday) or last week or last year - I just want a loop that will display all post of the current day.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) I want all post to be displayed.

I have created this code but it isn't working for me and I am getting a little frustrated.

Here is my code.

<?php
$day = date('j');
query_posts( 'day='.$current_day);
query_posts('cat=9&posts_per_page=2' );

if (have_posts()) :
    while (have_posts()) :
        the_post(); ?> 
        <div id="eventTitle">
            <span class="thetimeevent">
                <?php the_field('time'); ?>
            </span>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="eventFeed">
                <?php the_title(); ?>
            </a>
        </div>
        <?php
    endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
?>

Thank you for any help in advance :)
