The House passed its landmark Fiscal Responsibility Act on Wednesday night to raise the debt ceiling ahead of a looming default deadline, and members of both parties are already taking victory laps to position themselves as the sole winner of the fight.
The bill passed in a 314-117 vote after weeks of grueling negotiations between the White House and Republicans, followed by a massive whip effort by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to get enough members on board to pass the bill through the lower chamber. Not long after, McCarthy and other GOP leaders released a memo to Republicans detailing how the party won the communications battle over the debt ceiling.
But Democratic leaders are also taking credit for the deal passing, arguing it was their votes that helped push the bill past the finish line. Rank-and-file Democrats touted the bill’s passage as a win for their own party shortly after the vote, with some suggesting it came at the expense of the Republican majority.That sentiment has angered several Republicans — especially after Democrats helped push the bill through a procedural hurdle on Wednesday afternoon, as some 52 members of their caucus voted to advance the bill after 29 Republicans opposed it.
