With a vote of 221-201 , the House voted to suspend the debt limit for one year without requiring any offsets. Earlier this week, the House had floated the idea of adding military COLA pay to the measure, but ultimately that proposal and other additions were squashed.
The measure narrowly passed and only passed with the help of Democrats. Only 28 Republicans voted for it, while 199 voted no.
The Senate is expected to vote to approve the measure later this week before they recess to avoid DC’s impending snow storm.
