Debt ceiling bill advances to final House vote after McCarthy gets help from Democrats

President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy are rallying centrist Democrats and Republicans to pass a debt-ceiling and budget cuts package, despite opposition from conservative and progressive lawmakers.
The 99-page bill includes spending restrictions for the next two years, suspends the debt ceiling until January 2025, and introduces new work requirements for older Americans receiving food aid while greenlighting an Appalachian natural gas line.
The House is set to vote on the bill Wednesday night, with quick approval necessary to avoid a U.S. Default and ensure government checks continue to be distributed to Social Security recipients and veterans.
