The Senate is on recess for Thanksgiving week, but progress is slowly but surely being made on a key priority for the next few weeks: a vote to raise the federal debt ceiling, which could be hit by early next month. As The Hill writes, Senate Majority Leader Schumer and Minority Leader McConnell “spent weeks in open warfare in the lead up to the October debt ceiling vote, each walking far out onto limbs as they traded one-upmanships” before the Senate approved a temporary increase running through early December. After that vote, McConnell bluntly told President Biden that the GOP would not aid in another increase when that deadline neared.
