If Your Republican Representative Isn’t On This List You Need to Primary That Person

  In a major make-or-break vote on Wednesday, an overwhelming bipartisan coalition in the House of Representatives agreed to push through the deal to raise the government borrowing limit negotiated by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden.

The bill, which would suspend the debt limit until January 2025 while imposing spending caps, was voted through with a 314-to-117 majority, as lawmakers rallied around the common goal of avoiding a catastrophic default in the coming days.

Seventy one Republicans and 46 Democrats defied party leaders and voted against it.

Ahead of the vote, members of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, spearheaded by Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, the group's chair, vowed to "Do everything in our power" to stop the deal from passing the House, saying the spending cuts didn't go far enough.

On Wednesday, Perry kept his promise and voted against the bill, together with 70 other rebellious Republicans who tried to, but ultimately couldn't, sink the deal.

The deal was struck by Biden and McCarthy with the intention of allowing both Republicans and Democrats to claim a victory of sorts.

In the end, more Democrats supported the bill agreed by the House Speaker than McCarthy's own party members.
