“The House passed Kevin McCarthy’s debt-ceiling deal with Joe Biden tonight, and it wasn’t close. The final vote was 314-117, with 165 Democrats and 149 Republicans in favor, but significant dissent within both caucuses. Politically, this is an unambiguous win for McCarthy and House Republicans, who were expected to get nothing, and an unambiguous defeat for Joe Biden, who promised that House Republicans would get nothing. It also shows that Democrats on the Hill are just bystanders now on any issue that requires the affirmative consent of the House.”
