Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Friday that the House would vote on a debt ceiling suspension and on the bipartisan infrastructure bill next week, even as Republicans vow to oppose raising the limit and Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget, which progressives have tied to the infrastructure package, faces numerous setbacks.
Hoyer announced the votes in a letter to lawmakers detailing the jam-packed schedule ahead. He announced that the infrastructure vote will be on Sept. 27 “pursuant to the rule passed in August,” and that the vote on suspending how much money the U.S. can borrow would be instead of actually raising the cap itself, giving Congress more time to avoid a debt default.
