For the suspension of the US government debt limit until December 16, 2022, 219 members of the House of Representatives of Congress spoke out, 212 legislators voted against, it follows from the broadcast of the meeting. Earlier, the head of the US Treasury Janet Yellen said that if the US Congress does not raise the debt ceiling or increase the borrowing limit, the US Treasury will run out of funds by October 18.
The House of Representatives has now sent the bill to the Senate. At the same time, two days ago, senators from the Republican Party blocked a similar bill, which suspends the government debt limit until December 16 of next year. Then the package of measures also included financing the government’s work until December 3. Now the Democrats have split the two initiatives and put the issue of public debt to a vote in the House of Representatives, without reference to government funding.
