House May Vote to Remove Debt Limit Threat

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) signaled in a letter to colleagues that the House may soon consider legislation to “remove” a debt limit threat, saying a vote could come as soon as this month, The Hill reports.

Said Hoyer: “The House will explore options to remove the threat that the debt limit poses over the long term, now that Republicans have demonstrated a willingness to weaponize it for partisan purposes. The House may consider legislation as early as this month to do so.”
