Majority Leader Hoyer: House To Vote On Debt Limit Suspension Next Week

US

House majority leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) confirms that the House of Representatives will vote on a suspension of the debt limit next week, details from Annie Grayer at CNN: "Hoyer lays out schedule for when House returns next week: He says House will take up CR & debt ceiling but doesn't attach them. He affirms 9/27 vote on bipartisan infra bill, but does not assign specific date for vote on the $3.5 trillion economic spending package."

  • Caitlin Emma at Politico tweets: "Hoyer letter says House will take up a CR next week that includes disaster aid, Afghan resettlement funding. House will ALSO vote on a debt limit measure next week, he says, although unclear if paired with or separate from a CR. Hoyer notes that the House will vote on a debt limit *suspension*, vs. an outright debt ceiling hike. A suspension is more common in recent years and far more politically palatable."
