Debate On Debt Limit Bill To Begin At 19:15 ET, Final Vote 20:15

US

Craig Caplan at CSPAN has reported on twitter that a final vote on legislation to raise the US federal debt limit is likely to come earlier than previously announced.

  • Caplan: "Hour-long debate on the debt bill (provided its rule is first adopted) will now start earlier than previously announced at 7:15pm with a final vote to follow."
  • The bill will first have to overcome a vote to adopt the rule, normally a straightforward procedural vote, but subject to additional tension due to ongoing resistance from conservative House Republicans.
  • Haley Talbot at CNN ismaintaining a list of confirmed "noes" on the bill. According to Talbot, 34 Republicans and 2 Democrats are planning to vote against the bill with Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) the most recent Democrat "no" which may lead to a flurry of Democrat opposition to the bill.
  • Today's MNI US Daily Brief has a roundup of what to expect from the vote.
