House passes GOP debt ceiling plan, sending stern message to Joe Biden | USA TODAY

The GOP controlled House passed a debt ceiling plan by a vote of 217-215, which includes $4.5 trillion in cuts and raises the ceiling until May 2024.

The House on Wednesday passed a Republican debt ceiling plan that includes $4.5 trillion in cuts and raises the debt ceiling until May 2024, but Democrats say it won't ward off a potential government default this summer.

Just before the evening vote, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Republicans of "playing with fire" by not raising a clean debt ceiling. They raised the debt ceiling three times during the Trump administration, she said, but now they are using the full faith and credit of the U.S. to try and force spending cuts Democrats will not accept.

I'm sure that, if those representatives who declined to vote, had just voted 'no', McCarthy's debt ceiling bill wouldn't have passed the House. Thankfully it still has to go through the Senate and I'm sure it won't pass there.

What laugh the header as it holds no value. It will be squashed in Senate.
