House passes debt ceiling bill amid bipartisan push
The House approved a debt ceiling and budget cuts package 314 to 117 after hours of debate, aiming to avert a default. President Biden and Speaker McCarthy built a centrist coalition to back the deal, with Democrats warning against extremist GOP opposition and Republicans arguing spending cuts fall short. The measure suspends the debt limit into January 2025, tightens spending for two years, and includes work requirements for food aid and a new gas line, while boosting defense, Veterans Affairs, and IRS funding. The plan is set to move to the Senate for a likely week-end passage.
