House passes McCarthy-Biden debt ceiling deal, sends to Senate five days before funding crunch
Majorities in both parties supported the deal
By Elizabeth Elkind | Fox News


The House passed legislation late Wednesday to implement the debt ceiling agreement 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.

"I thank House Democrats for your steady hand, for your unity of purpose, for your efforts to make sure that we push back the extreme mega Republican efforts to jam right wing cuts down the throats of the American people that would have undermined the health, the safety and the economic well-being of everyday Americans," Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on Wednesday night.

House Republican leadership worked to maximize their vote. And the House Freedom Caucus's stated goal was to keep the GOP vote under majority of majority.

At the end of the day, 67% of House Republicans voted for the McCarthy-Biden deal.

If McCarthy had simply done nothing, we would be infinitely better off.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Over 77% of Democrat members voted in favor of this bill.  What does that tell you?  McCarthy did their bidding for them.
