BREAKING: The House narrowly passed SpeakerMcCarthy’s debt ceiling package, handing the Republican leader a key legislative win and setting the stage for him to restart negotiations with the White House before risking a default on the country’s loans.
Lawmakers passed the debt ceiling proposal along party lines with a 217-215 vote, with just four Republicans voting against the measure. The passage comes after days of marathon meetings and hourslong deliberations among Republicans to craft legislation that could give McCarthy leverage as he seeks to make a deal with President Joe Biden.McCarthy unveiled his long-awaited debt ceiling package last week, proposing to raise the debt ceiling over the next year either by $1.
Proposals to cut those ethanol tax credits threatened to sink McCarthy’s bill after at least eight Republicans from the so-called “corn belt” said they’d vote against the bill unless changes were made. Those threats put McCarthy in a bind as he can only lose four GOP votes on any piece of legislation due to his slim majority in the House.
Some Republicans maintained their opposition, including Reps. Tim Burchett , Matt Gaetz and Andy Biggs who voted against the legislation. Rep. Ken Buck also voted no.
