The ProbSolveCaucus, a key bipartisan bloc of House lawmakers, is backing the debt ceiling agreement ahead of the expected Wednesday night vote. The caucus is throwing its weight behind the plan, meaning at least 75% of its membership is on board.
The Problem Solvers Caucus, which includes 64 members from both parties, is throwing its weight behind the plan, meaning at least 75% of its membership, which is evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, is on board."Our bipartisan caucus is now proud to overwhelmingly endorse this two-party solution, the Fiscal Responsibility Act, that both avoids default and also begins the process of putting our nation on a path to fiscal sustainability.
To pass, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 will likely need to garner at least 218 votes, but already dozens of lawmakers, predominantly Republicans, have come out against the bill. That bill cleared a key hurdle Tuesday evening when the House Rules Committee narrowly voted 7-6 to advance it. Speaker Kevin McCarthy vowed to give his members 72 hours to read through the bill before a vote, setting the stage for an expected vote Wednesday.
