Schumer sets up Wednesday vote to suspend debt ceiling

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) will try again on Wednesday to advance a debt-ceiling suspension bill, amid an entrenched stalemate over the nation's borrowing limit.

Schumer, on Monday night, teed up a vote for Wednesday where he'll need 60 votes to break a filibuster and move forward with suspending the debt ceiling through December 2022.

That would require 10 Republicans to break ranks in the 50-50 Senate, something that is exceedingly unlikely.

"Before the end of this week, the Senate must - must - get a bill to the president's desk to address the acute crisis of the debt limit," Schumer said from the floor on Monday.
