The Senate passed a bill Thursday night to extend the debt limit through early December, temporarily ending a partisan standoff just 11 days before the government's deadline to avoid a default.
through early December, temporarily ending a partisan standoff just 11 days before the government's deadline to avoid a default.
The Republicans who voted in the affirmative were Sens. John Barrasso of Wyoming, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Richard Shelby of Alabama and John Thune of South Dakota. Sens. Richard Burr, R-N.C. and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. were absent.
"America's full faith and credit must never be used as a political bargaining chip. I hope my Republican colleagues relent from trying to make it one when we revisit this issue soon," he said. "As we approach the coming months, we hope that even more Republicans will join Democrats in responsibly addressing the debt limit instead of choosing default or obstruction," she said in a statement.
“I’m sure Chuck's frustration was built, but that was not a way to take it out. We just disagree. I would have done it differently," said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who was seen sitting behind Schumer during the speech, shaking his head and putting his head in his hands before getting up. "This will moot Democrats’ excuses about the time crunch they created and give the unified Democratic government more than enough time to pass standalone debt limit legislation through reconciliation," McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement.
