BREAKING: Rules Committee overcomes GOP opposition to advance debt limit bill
The 13-member panel voted 7-6 to advance the bill, with only Reps. Chip Roy and Ralph Norman joining all Democrats to vote against the measure. The committee is controlled by nine Republicans. The legislation now heads to the floor for a vote on Wednesday, which is scheduled to take place at 8:30 p.m.“In a true negotiation, you always get less than you want and give up more than you'd like,” committee Chairman Tom Cole said on Tuesday.
As a result, all eyes turned to Rep. Thomas Massie , who expressed opposition to the bill but stopped short of saying whether he’d block it from getting to the floor. Massie ultimately voted to advance the bill, securing the majority vote needed. More Republicans could join Bishop’s calls, especially after the bill advanced through the committee through a closed-rules process and without unanimous Republican support — two key concessions McCarthy made when elected as speaker.
