Who voted against the debt ceiling bill in Congress, and who voted for it?

Washington — The House and Senate both passed a bill this week to suspend the debt ceiling and limit government spending in strong bipartisan votes that allayed fears of an unprecedented U.S. government default. 

The bill, known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, came together within days of President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reaching an agreement. It sailed through the House by a vote of 314 to 117 on Wednesday, and cleared the Senate on Thursday by a vote of 63 to 36.

In the House, a majority of each party's members — 149 Republicans and 165 Democrats — voted to pass the bill. Seventy-one Republicans and 46 Democrats voted against it. Four members did not vote.
