Debt ceiling deal raises concerns for vulnerable populations.

Ohio Senator J.D. Vance was the only lawmaker from the state to vote against a bipartisan agreement to raise the US debt limit, which now heads to President Joe Biden's desk. The deal suspends the debt limit until Jan. 2, 2025, and includes spending cuts, but Vance argued it didn't go far enough to rein in government spending. The package faced opposition from both conservatives and liberal Democrats, but Ohio's other senator, Sherrod Brown, supported it. The legislation increases SNAP's age limit for work requirements on adults without dependents from 49 to 54, but also enables more people to get food assistance without work.
