Late Wednesday, the House approved a debt ceiling and budget cuts package, avoiding a potential default crisis. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy worked together to unite both centrist Democrats and Republicans against disapproval from conservatives and progressives. Although the bill did not satisfy everyone, it was considered the better option for preventing economic disruption in the country. Throughout the day, tensions rose as extremist views from the GOP dominated the negotiations, but ultimately, the bill was passed with a vote of 314-117. Passage from the Senate is anticipated by the end of the week.

During a late evening address to the House, McCarthy conveyed the necessity for the budget cuts to curb Washington's 'runaway spending.' Despite lack of enthusiasm within the Republican party regarding the spending restrictions, McCarthy emphasized that this is just the first step in the right direction. The bill is a success in restraining the country's debt, without needing to remove tax breaks that were instated during Trump's presidency.

Finding ample support amidst a divided Washington is normally a challenge, but Biden and McCarthy aimed to attract moderate politicians from both parties. Biden sent high-ranking officials to the Capitol and contacted the lawmakers himself. For McCarthy, his primary goal was to sell the proposal to fellow Republicans, seeing as the hard-right conservatives had refused it. However, they succeeded in passing the bill, thereby avoiding potential disaster faced by the country.
