this is very much lawmakers. this is very much expected to pass, but there has been last—minute wrangling. there has, we were outside the house speaker's office, he was supposed to finish his recess at 7:15pm but it went on for more than half an hour. we saw lots of people coming back and forth including his chief negotiators. a staffer said to us that one more vote, the phrase was that they had just one more person to convince. eventually the speaker came out and when i asked if it was a done deal and who was the one vote, he wouldn't answer, but we have been saying in the chamber the republicans taking very much a big victory lap. you have kevin mccarthy saying this is the largest savings everin this is the largest savings ever in american history. that's not true. but this is pr, as well. he needs to sell

this to the republican party. especially the ultra conservative members, who have been making a lot of noise about it. his political reputation is potentially on the line, he needs to show he can make a deal but also satisfy the members of his party who are unsure about the deal. inaudible question. lots of lawmakers on the hill have — lots of lawmakers on the hill have used this as an opportunity to give their opinions about which way they think— opinions about which way they think the — opinions about which way they think the deal should go. you have peeple _ think the deal should go. you have people like _ think the deal should go. wm. have people like emanuel cleaver who is a democrat, he said enough people on both sides don't want the default, so he is optimistic it will go through. he was asked by my colleague, what would you say to people watching around the world who are curious to know why is the debt ceiling becoming such a big issue in america? we know a country like

denmark, for example, has a debt ceiling but we never talk about it because usually it's a formality, they raise it, they suspend it. he said, and i quote, this whole drama was stinky season and it wasn't a very good look for america. but he was confident that enough people on both sides would eventually agree that they don't want a default. the clock is ticking, monday is the big deadline for this to go through. deadline for this to go through-— deadline for this to go throu~h. . �*, ., through. that's right, and we are seeing — through. that's right, and we are seeing that _ through. that's right, and we are seeing that the _ through. that's right, and we are seeing that the vote - through. that's right, and we are seeing that the vote has. are seeing that the vote has just started on the house floor. we will watch closely to see where the numbers end up. tell us what we have been hearing from the white house and president biden. he has been fairly reserved in what he's been saying about this vote today. he he's been saying about this vote today-— vote today. he has. and throughout, _ vote today. he has. and throughout, he - vote today. he has. and throughout, he has- vote today. he has. and| throughout, he has been vote today. he has. and - throughout, he has been kind of cautiously optimistic. remember, originally he didn't want to negotiate spending cuts and tie it to the debt ceiling.

he was happy to talk about it but not link it to the debt ceiling. he has been criticised massively by members of his party, particularly the progressives for doing that. but he said, this is how governing works. before he left for colorado, he said he believed it would go to plan and, god willing, to quote him, this will get through. so he is being optimistic about it. the speaker of the house kevin mccarthy, as we have been seeing, has been optimistic about it. so the general feeling is, having spent time here today on the capitol is that it's a done deal, but we have to wait and see how it goes. have to wait and see how it noes. ., . have to wait and see how it uoes, ., ., , , goes. you have been listening to the debate, _ goes. you have been listening to the debate, tell _ goes. you have been listening to the debate, tell us - goes. you have been listening to the debate, tell us what. goes. you have been listening| to the debate, tell us what you heard from members on the floor. it heard from members on the floor. . , . heard from members on the floor. ., . ., , ., floor. it was a victory lap for republicans. _ floor. it was a victory lap for republicans. it _ floor. it was a victory lap for republicans. it was - floor. it was a victory lap for. republicans. it was interesting that the house majority leader steve scalise took to the floor and he did this thing i've seen and he did this thing i've seen a lot of republicans do, which is deflecting blame on to

president biden, saying it took him far too long to sit at the table and negotiate with kevin mccarthy. he gave credit to garret graves and patrick mchenry, the two negotiators. before we got that bit, there was this procedural point in all of this, which basically helped to advance it to the stage we are at now. i think what was interesting about that was that, usually, the minority party doesn't get involved in that bit. but the democrats did get involved and help the republicans to basically advanceit republicans to basically advance it to the stage where we are at now, where the debate is happening and the vote will happen. so that is quite unusual. and it probably suggests that this will happen again. because it's very likely the republicans, may be the democrats again in the house, we might say it again in the senate... if we see that and finally the bill gets to biden�*s desk and he signs it, we can say it truly is a bipartisan deal. interesting,

thank yon _ bipartisan deal. interesting, thank you. we _ bipartisan deal. interesting, thank you. we are _ bipartisan deal. interesting, thank you. we are watching | bipartisan deal. interesting, - thank you. we are watching how the vote comes down and we will come back to you later on capitol hill. as we said, we are seeing the vote taking place right now. interesting to see where the numbers end up, but as we've been saying all evening, we expect to see this debt ceiling agreement passed through the house of representatives. it appears enough republicans and democrats are giving their backing to this agreement to pass it through the house of representatives. it would then go to the senate and to the president. sophia, again, what are you looking for in these numbers as we see them come in? we are looking for the magic number, _ we are looking for the magic number, 218. we are about halfway _ number, 218. we are about halfway there. that is the magic— halfway there. that is the magic number that leader mccarthy and biden will need for this— mccarthy and biden will need for this bill to pass. we know that— for this bill to pass. we know that there are a number of key democrats who are going to vote no. democrats who are going to vote n0~ they — democrats who are going to vote no. they are to progressive members _ no. they are to progressive members including the head of

this mean you are going to challenge mr mccarthy? they didn't quite go there. we will probably get more from chip roy at some point, we fully expect these people to come out and have more to say. yeah, lots of threats but no one has specifically said they will seek to remove mr mccarthy from his role. brute seek to remove mr mccarthy from his role. ~ ~. ., , his role. we saw kevin mccarthy seak on his role. we saw kevin mccarthy speak on the — his role. we saw kevin mccarthy speak on the house _ his role. we saw kevin mccarthy speak on the house floor - his role. we saw kevin mccarthy speak on the house floor a i speak on the house floor a little earlier during the debate. tell us what he said. he took a big victory lap. he is always very optimistic, isn't he? the number of times i have asked him questions throughout the whole debt ceiling saga, he has been full of confidence and swagger. it is a bit of a pr job for him. he wants to show that he is able to make this deal, the republicans have got what they wanted out of it. he is never going to turn around, is he, and say, yes, this deal works very well for the democratic party, because he would never have been able to sell it to

those members of the house who were very sceptical about it. so he has described it as the largest savings ever in american history. that'sjust american history. that's just not american history. that'sjust not true. that is the way, of course, it's all pr, the way he is selling it. this is his reputation, and his speakership in some ways on the line. thus an idea from _ in some ways on the line. thus an idea from your— in some ways on the line. thus an idea from your sense - an idea from your sense covering campaigns how this plays into 2024? it’s covering campaigns how this plays into 2024?— plays into 2024? it's really interesting... _ plays into 2024? it's really interesting... what - plays into 2024? it's really interesting... what we i plays into 2024? it's really interesting... what we can j plays into 2024? it's really i interesting... what we can say for sure, this will not be an issue until after the presidential... issue until after the presidential. . .- issue until after the presidential... issue until after the residential... �* , ., presidential... i'm 'ust going to “um presidential... i'm 'ust going tojump-n..._ the unfinished business is the vote _ the unfinished business is the vote on— the unfinished business is the vote on the motion of the gentleman from missouri, ms wagnerm _ the clerk will report the

looking at the 2024 election. the campaigning is already beginning. the conservatives are painting this as a big win for the republicans. kevin mccarthy. some of the headlines saying that he brought biden to his knees, he got him to negotiate. remember, president biden didn't want to negotiate the debt ceiling and tie it to the debt ceiling and tie it to the spending cuts, but he did. the democratic party are also doing a prjob, saying that this is a great deal for them, they got what they wanted, they didn't reduce... there were spending cuts but they didn't affect too many of the welfare programmes, for example, that were part of the bill. so both sides, of course, will use it to their advantage. the good news may be that this won't be talked about, the debt ceiling, until after the next presidential election in 2024, because this is a two—year deal. because this is a two-year deal. . , , ., deal. that is perhaps a good thin. i deal. that is perhaps a good thing. i want— deal. that is perhaps a good thing. i want to _ deal. that is perhaps a good thing. i want to ask- deal. that is perhaps a good thing. i want to ask sofia i thing. i want to ask sofia about that. you havejust

livid about this bill. he was part of the caucus who held a press conference yesterday, lambasting the whole thing. interestingly, jim jordan, who is very close to kevin mccarthy and also a member of the caucus, voted yes. he said right out of the gate that he was supportive of mr mccarthy and this deal. for the democratic party, remember there were always going to be holed out, particularly in the progressive wing of the party. people like cory busch and alexandra kgo cortez voting no to the bill. —— alexandra kgo cortez. their argument was that president biden shouldn't have negotiated in the first. they said he shouldn't have done that. he had said he wouldn't negotiate the debt ceiling, he would be happy to talk about spending cuts and budgetary reform but he wouldn't tie it to the debt ceiling. the fact he did, for them, it's a betrayal and they have reflected that in their voting tonight.
