Senate Votes to Approve Debt Ceiling Bill, Averting Default
by Paul Bois Breitbart.com
The U.S. Senate voted to approve the “The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023,” averting a potential default on the national debt.
The bill reportedly passed the Senate on Thursday with a vote of 63-36.
“The Senate passed the bipartisan debt deal Thursday night, sending it to President Joe Biden’s desk days before the default deadline and capping off months of melodrama,” Politico reported.
The Senate 63-36 vote on the debt limit is actually a little surprising given the House’s 314-117 blowout.
In the House, 149 Republicans voted for it, and 71 voted no.
