House passes debt ceiling deal after compromise between Biden, McCarthy; Senate expected to vote Friday

  • The House of Representatives passed legislation to raise the debt ceiling, averting default, after negotiations between President Biden and Speaker McCarthy.
  • The bill, which now moves to the Senate, raises the debt limit through 2025, imposes spending caps, and ends the student loan repayment pause in August.
  • The fragile agreement satisfied few but prevented economic catastrophe, though future showdowns are expected.
  • The Senate plans to vote on the measure Friday, with leaders vowing to pass it before the Monday default deadline despite requests for changes.
  • Biden has pledged to veto Republican legislation undoing his student debt relief plan, which faces a Supreme Court ruling.
