But any changes at this stage would send the whole bill back to the House, and Congress is on a tight timeline to avoid default. "You want to keep it in check. If you eliminate it, people here, they just want to spend money all the time." “I will go on any TV station with anyone opposing the debt ceiling bill to debate the most conservative option,” he tweeted.

As a result of his move, Johnson could face a vote on his ouster in the coming weeks. The GOP speaker, however, has grown more willing to confront the threat from the right, and Democrats have suggested that they're willing to protect him from an ouster effort if he allowed a vote on Ukraine aid. A few, including Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, could not suppress a slightly sardonic tone even in expressing relief. NATO allies that feel more directly threatened by Russia, including the Baltic states and Poland, have long viewed the conflict with a sense of crisis and urgency, and were at times incredulous as U.S. support appeared to flag. European allies, for their part, had watched the drawn-out aid drama with mounting anxiety and exasperation. U.S. and Ukrainian officials said resupply efforts could take place relatively quickly, because of supply chains and logistical networks established early in the more than two-year-old conflict.

Biden is being updated on floor debate and vote, White House official says

Biden, who is traveling to Colorado today, said he expects the bill to move forward tonight. “God willing, by the time I land, Congress will have acted, the House will have acted, and we’ll be one step closer,” he said. Sanders also called the bill "totally unnecessary" and said he looks forward to the day Biden eliminates the debt ceiling by invoking the 14th Amendment. Without unanimous agreement from all senators, the Senate may not be able to pass the debt ceiling bill until Tuesday — a day after the deadline. The House will now debate the debt ceiling bill and then vote on the legislation later in the evening.

McCarthy announces debt commission — months after dismissing the idea

She says her administration also helped bring new business to the state. In the last midterm, they were almost 10% of the vote with pronounced influence in a handful of key states, like Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and Florida. That trend has been driven by the growth of Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander voters. Both parties are making a final push for turnout on Election Day, especially among the state's critical Latino voters.

As Night 1 ends, control of Congress remains at stake for Democrats

On a House Freedom Caucus call Monday night, Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., floated using the motion to vacate, a rule that would allow any House member to force a vote to remove the speaker, two sources familiar with the call said. Buck, speaking toward the end of the call, referred to it as the “elephant in the room,” a source said. The bipartisan deal struck by Biden and McCarthy would extend the debt limit for two years, alongside modest federal spending cuts and a series of policy provisions. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said she will vote "no" on the debt deal, which the House is set to vote on tonight. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the floor that his colleagues should be prepared to move quickly on the debt ceiling bill. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said he will vote against the debt ceiling bill but praised Biden for doing the "best he could" in negotiating the deal.

The workers are drawn from the agency’s civil rights division and U.S. attorneys’ offices, along with, in some cases, staff from the Office of Personnel Management. Hassan stresses that New Hampshire is a purple state and will be a close race. She has touted her bipartisan record, passing bills to lower prescription drug costs, boost manufacturing jobs, and invest millions in roads, bridges and rail projects. Those ballots will be collected and sent to Maricopa’s “central tabulators,” County Recorder Stephen Richer said. Results are expected to be close, and operatives say the final vote count may stretch into the week.

"History judges us for what we do. This is a critical time right now." If the Senate votes to approve the TikTok legislation, it heads to the desk of Biden, who endorsed the prior version of the bill and may quickly sign any foreign aid package that includes similar language targeting TikTok. The Problem Solvers Caucus today endorsed the debt ceiling legislation, which the House is set to take up tonight. "I cannot stress enough that we have no margin — no margin — for error," he said. "Either we proceed quickly and send this bipartisan agreement to the president's desk or the federal government will default for the first time ever." Federal student loan borrowers face a reckoning as a result of the debt ceiling deal the House will vote on today.

And, consequently, they don’t have enough Republican support to proceed. Saturday's vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber. Under Johnson's unconventional plan, the Ukraine bill will be sent to the Senate as part of a package that includes aid for Israel and Taiwan and a third bill that forces a sale of TikTok and allows the United States to confiscate Russian assets. The House of Representatives on Saturday passed a more than $60 billion bill to provide military and economic aid to Ukraine. The House has pushed a $95-billion national security aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies closer to passage.

Thirty-nine Democrats had voted “no” on Friday on the rule to allow the foreign aid package to come to the House floor, a target that progressives just missed on Saturday on the Israel bill. Fourteen of those Democrats voted on Saturday in favor of aid to Israel, while 12 Democrats who voted to allow the package on the floor on Friday then cast votes against the funding itself. Most recently, Representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the No. 3 House Republican, withdrew his bid for the speakership just hours after winning a closed-door vote. A week prior, Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio failed to win the speakership after three floor votes, facing increasing opposition from his own party in each vote. Before him, Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana withdrew his bid after winning a closed-door vote to become the nominee.

As we headed into the final week of voting, it looked like some of the Democrats' key bases were less enthusiastic about voting than the Republicans' bases, according to an NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist poll. Election officials say there are no credible cyber-security or polling place threats, but nonetheless, they're working with state and local law enforcement to ensure ballots will be secure. Snow began falling in western Montana early Monday and was expected to continue to fall in eastern parts of the state through Tuesday night, the NWS office in Billings said. NPR's senior political correspondent Domenico Montanaro writes that these outside groups, which have little-to-no donor transparency, are actually spending more for less if you factor in the ad rates. Hassan has distanced herself from President Biden, saying he was too slow to respond to inflation. She argues her opponent is an extreme Republican who opposes abortion rights.

Kemp is beloved by Republicans for notching four years of conservative priorities and respected by some moderates for standing up to former President Donald Trump’s pressure to overturn the results of the 2020 election. “Whenever over 100 million people do something, something will go wrong. It does not mean there is a conspiracy,” tweeted Michael McDonald, a political science professor at the University of Florida.

I hope we can move the bill quickly here in the Senate and bring it to the president’s desk as soon as possible," Schumer said. "I think it’s wonderful that they voted for it, because they are now on record, so they can’t sit there and yell, 'This isn’t good.' So I’ll bring something back. Katko, who was one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach then-President Trump over the events of Jan. 6, clarified that the commission would hire "as a team." "How can you have a bipartisan commission with an all Democrat staff?" Bishop asked. Pelosi strongly suggested today that she would approve a select committee in the House to investigate what led to the Jan. 6 insurrection if a vote to form the commission fails in the Senate.

"I am also very happy that our ranking member was able to do a bipartisan and get some concession from the Democrats. That's why I voted for this." "That's one of the great things about our party and the leader in particular. I have been able to break ranks with my party on a number of issues unlike the Democrats who don't break ranks at all," Gimenez said. "Arizona is a place where Republicans outnumber Democrats and where independents really matter. That's the hurdle for both incumbent Kelly and Masters," Montanaro writes. You can read Montanaro's full story, which covers other key Senate races, here. "If Lt. Gov. John Fetterman can hold on against celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz, then Republicans would need to win two of three [races in] Georgia, Nevada and Arizona.

Biden sounded an optimistic tone that the deal he struck with McCarthy would be “one step closer” by the end of the week, despite growing opposition from Democrats’ left flank. “For anyone to say it hasn’t been reviewed and we bypass any process as far as the environmental concerns, it’s been through everything multiple times,” Manchin said. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said he got into a "robust debate" with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in front of Democratic senators at a private lunch today about a provision in the deal that would expedite the approval of a natural gas pipeline. Ahead of the vote, McCarthy declared that passing the Fiscal Responsibility Act would deliver hope to American families and warned lawmakers against voting against it.

Republican Karoline Leavitt, 25, is running in New Hampshire's 1st district — where the race is has not been called. She's challenging incumbent Democrat Chris Pappas in a competitive race. A Maricopa County judge held a hearing on Tuesday evening and denied the request, according to ABC15 and other outlets.
