Resolves YES if the US statutory debt ceiling is raised or suspended before June 10, otherwise NO.

Notes:

  • Removing or temporarily suspending the debt ceiling counts as YES.

  • Only passage of US law counts for resolution. E.g. circumventing or ignoring the debt limit doesn't matter for this question. If the US defaults and then raises the debt ceiling aftewards before the question deadline, that still counts as YES.

  • This question uses Eastern time.

The Senate will hold 11 amendment votes, 10R 1D each vote 10 mins. Afterwards a vote to pass will occur.

predicted YES

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell have made it clear they want to move ahead with a vote on the bill as early as Thursday, but would need an agreement from all 100 senators to do so. In the Senate, any one lawmaker can delay a swift vote.

Once the Senate passes the measure, it can be sent to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.

Final Vote In The House Possibly Delayed Until 8:30pm ET

predicted YES

Progressive Dems & Freedom Caucus GOP members will vote NO.

However there are clear indications from both sides that they have enough votes for it to pass the House this evening when they vote.

McCarthy has stated publicly and privately that this bill will 100% become a law.

The debt ceiling will be effectively be suspended until Jan 1st 2025. This leaves the next negotiation to after the next presidential race.

predicted YES

Passed the first stage, The Rules Committee.

Word on the street is it will pass Congress & Senate and be on Bidens Desk to sign on Monday June 5th 2023.

The only hold up are those in the House Freedom Caucus, but by my count, low end being 12 members, high end being 48 members, the bill would still pass.

218 Votes are needed to pass the House.

There are 213 Democrats and 222 Republicans. You only need 5 republicans to vote YES.

The Freedom Caucus members will have the loudest voice in media/news saying no no no no, but their votes are not needed for it to pass the House.

predicted YES

My Guess would be 192 Dem YES + 157 Rep YES = 349 ; This 350 vote market should see good action!

predicted YES

My revised prediction is: 320 YES / 104 NO / 11 Abstain

Passes the House.

Unrelated, but how do you embed markets like that? I only know how to display the bigger embedding style that shows the whole market graph.

predicted YES

@WinstonOswaldDrummond Click "add market" and then select multiple markets.

predicted NO

@jack Oh so it just happens automatically once you add multiple markets, and there's no way to do it for just one market?
