House Republicans will start considering a plan to raise the nation’s $31.4 trillion borrowing limit when lawmakers return to the U.S. Capitol this week, while the Senate will grapple with a key vacancy that is holding up President Biden’s judicial nominees.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is putting together legislation that pairs a one-year increase in the debt ceiling with spending cuts and other spending limits that are aimed at winning the support of his conservative rank-and-file.
Across the Capitol, Senate Republicans will welcome back Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been absent for six weeks after suffering a concussion in a fall. Republican sources told The Washington Times the Senate GOP is not inclined to give the Democrats the green light to sub in another Democrat on the panel. Instead, they want more clarity about when, or if, the California Democrat plans to return to the Senate.
Among those seeking an early Feinstein exit is Rep. Ro Khanna, who is working to help fellow Californian Rep. Barbara Lee win the Democratic primary to replace Ms. Feinstein. If Ms. Feinstein resigns, Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, will appoint a temporary replacement and previously said he’d pick a black woman.
