Senate Democrats plan to accept Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) offer to raise the debt ceiling into December, according to reports.
The tentative deal pushes the debt ceiling fighting to December. Senate Democrats and Republicans have fought over whether to raise or suspend the debt ceiling as Democrats continue to push their $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act.
The deal would allow Democrats to pass the debt ceiling increase into December without a Republican filibuster, allowing Democrats to pass the debt ceiling increase with only a simple majority in the Senate.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said Democrats accepted the deal because “Mitch McConnell finally saw the light.”
