The GOP control the House by a narrow 222-213 majority, but the bipartisan deal will need support from both Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s Republicans and President Joe Biden’s Democrats to pass
The U.S. House of Representatives is due to vote on Wednesday on a bill to lift the government’s debt ceiling, a critical step to avoid a potential economically destabilizing default that could come early next week without congressional action.
The solid Democratic opposition is not necessarily indicative of how the 213-member party caucus would vote on the bill itself. During Tuesday’s debate in the House Rules Committee, Republican Representative Chip Roy complained that far greater budget savings were not achieved, as many conservatives had hoped. He added that the bill also failed to turn back landmark Biden administration accomplishments, including vigorous spending to fight the effects of climate change.
The No. 2 Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin, said he was still examining the bill’s details. He told reporters he was especially worried it would harm vital research at the National Institutes of Health, which he called the “premier medical research agency of the world.”
