McCarthy-Biden Debt Ceiling Deal Passes Critical Procedural HurdleÂ
In a significant development, the debt ceiling agreement between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has cleared a significant hurdle in the House. On Tuesday night, the House Rules Committee voted 7-6 in favor of approving the terms of debate for the legislation, paving the way for House lawmakers to vote on the agreement on Wednesday evening. The vote’s result was uncertain due to the opposition or potential opposition expressed by three Republican committee members toward the agreement.
