The House of Representatives Votes to Raise Debt Ceiling

The House of Representatives voted to raise the debt ceiling on Wednesday, passing the bill negotiated by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the White House. This completes the first step in avoiding an economic disaster just five days before the Treasury’s deadline for default.

While the Fiscal Responsibility Act passed comfortably in a 314-117 vote, with 165 Democrats joining 149 Republicans in backing the legislation, opposition from both progressive Democrats and hard-line Republicans underscores the contention in Washington.

Hard-line Republicans, such as Gaetz, were frustrated with McCarthy’s compromises with Democrats and teased that the speaker’s collaborations with the Left could trigger a motion to vacate.

The bill now heads to the Senate, which is expected to hold a vote later this week. A single senator has the ability to delay the process, a prospect Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) worries could cost valuable time. If it passes, it will be signed into law by Biden.

The U.S. reached its debt ceiling in January, but Congress was given a June 5 deadline until the federal government would not be able to pay its bills.
