How your Representatives in Congress voted on the debt deal

Washington, D.C.-- The nation's debt ceiling bill is now in the hands of the U.S. Senate after the House of Representatives passed the bill last night on a 314-117 vote. Senators have until Monday to pass the bill or risk a default on the nation's debt. 

Here is how Representatives for the Michiana area voted.

Congressman Yakym talked to ABC57 today and had this to say about the bill.

“Washington did not amass nearly $32 trillion in debt overnight, and no single piece of legislation alone will solve our debt crisis, which is the greatest threat to our nation’s future. But this is a good start to changing our fiscal trajectory and the unsustainable spending culture in Washington."

Once again, the Senate has until June 5 to pass the bill and send it to President Biden for his signature.

If the deal does not get done it could have disastrous consequences on both the U.S. and global economies.
