McCarthy Cut Side Deal to Save Debt Limit Bill

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) “quietly cut a deal for Democrats to vote to advance the bipartisan debt ceiling bill to a final vote,“ Axios reports.

“The 52 Democratic votes were necessary for the bill to clear a procedural hurdle after 29 Republicans voted against moving it to last night’s final vote, in which it was approved 314-117.”

“The details of the deal have been tightly held, but a source said they expect more details to be made available soon.”
