Congressional Republicans have formed a consensus on legislation to raise the debt ceiling while extending tax cuts, deregulating energy policies, and enhancing border enforcement. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated that the bill, which aims to pass via budget reconciliation, will allow for simple majority approval. Earlier proposals varied between chambers, but recent developments favor a unified approach. House GOP leaders are eager to embed the debt ceiling increase within a larger legislative package aligned with Trump’s agenda, anticipating its passage in the coming month.
House GOP leaders have long been keen on stuffing a debt ceiling increase into the broader 'big beautiful' Trump agenda package.
The process will allow it to clear both chambers of Congress by a simple majority, so long as it only involves changes to revenues and spending.
