Debt-ceiling bill vote causes infighting among US House Republicans.
US House Republicans plan to vote on a bill to raise the federal debt ceiling and cut spending, despite disagreements within their party. The bill includes changes to address concerns about biofuels tax credits and tougher work requirements for low-income Americans. The Republicans need to pass the bill to force President Joe Biden to negotiate spending cuts as a condition of raising the debt ceiling. However, they can only afford to lose four votes from their narrow majority. The bill is not expected to win approval in its current form in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
