Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer scrambled to quell opposition from defense hawks, climate-conscious Democrats and hardline Republicans, all while expediting the Senate’s time-consuming legislative procedures with little room for error.
The two parties struck an agreement to allow 11 amendment roll call votes Thursday evening, demanded by Republicans and one Democrat, in exchange for fast-tracking the bill to final passage later in the night. The chamber had to pass the legislation, which cleared the GOP-led House Wednesday and suspends the debt limit until January 2025, before next week or risk the country defaulting on its ability to pay all of its bills.
