WASHINGTON (AP) — After sailing through the House on a bipartisan vote, the debt ceiling and budget cuts package now goes to the Senate.

President Joe Biden negotiated the deal with Speaker Kevin McCarthy to avert a U.S. default crisis. They worked to assemble a coalition of centrist Democrats and Republicans to push it to approval. A similar bipartisan effort will be needed in the Senate to overcome opposition. The U.S. was facing a potentially disastrous default in less than a week if Congress failed to act.

Despite deep disappointment from hard-right Republicans that budget cuts don’t go far enough, it was approved on a bipartisan House vote with Democrats. The Senate is expected to act quickly by the end of the week.

U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL) issued the following statement Wednesday night regarding his vote against a legislative deal to increase America’s debt limit by $4 trillion over two years:

“America is $31 trillion in debt because Washington politicians have failed for decades to stand up and do the right thing. House Republicans worked hard to achieve the best deal possible, but Joe Biden and the Democrats have proven they won’t do what it takes to help defeat this debt crisis. I voted against this bill because we owe it to our children and grandchildren to think bigger and do more to fix the mess we’re in.”
