So last fall, the American people spoke, and they elected a Republican House of Representatives, hoping, expecting, demanding that we turn this ship around and do so quickly. We should have, could have and would have been able to use that leverage had we stood our ground. This was a capitulation.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., talks to reporters just after the Republican majority in the House narrowly passed a sweeping debt ceiling package as they try to push President Joe Biden into negotiations on federal spending, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, April 26, 2023.negotiated between President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, putting Congress on track to allow more borrowing just days before the government is expected to run out of money.
The bill passed in a 314-117 vote that saw majorities in both parties support the agreement, which also meets the GOP demand of cutting nondefense discretionary spending over the next two years. Republicans supported the bill by a 149-71 margin, and Democrats supported it 165-46. Democrats took credit for helping get the bill across the finish line. Earlier in the day, 52 Democrats made the rare move of voting with Republicans in a procedural vote to keep the bill alive.

That vote is expected to take place this week, barring any objections from senators to moving quickly.Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
