Who voted against the debt ceiling bill in the House, and who voted for it?
CBSN
Washington — The House passed a bill Wednesday to suspend the debt ceiling and limit government spending in a strong bipartisan vote that allayed fears of an unprecedented U.S. government default.
The bill, known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, came together within days of President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reaching an agreement. It sailed through the House by a vote of 314 to 117, reflecting a consensus that a failure to address the debt ceiling would have catastrophic effects on the economy.
A majority of each party's members — 149 Republicans and 165 Democrats — voted to pass the bill. Seventy-one Republicans and 46 Democrats voted against it. Four members did not vote.
