WASHINGTON – The debt ceiling deal passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support Wednesday night, but it also had strong bipartisan opposition with 117 members voting against it.
About 71 Republicans and 46 Democrats voted against the debt limit bill. Four lawmakers did not vote, including Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.
Several far-right conservatives, including members of the Freedom Caucus, opposed the legislation and criticized House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for accepting a deal they say does not go far enough to cut spending. House progressives also voted against the bill, but for different reasons: They criticized the legislation for expanding work requirements for food stamps, speeding up permits for oil and gas projects and limiting the future expense

The opposition, specifically within the GOP caucus, is the last move to contain McCarthy since Republicans took control of the House after the 2022 midterms. The passage of a bill on the debt ceiling in both chambers and President Joe Biden’s signature into law would mark the first major victory for McCarthy since his ascension to the presidency.
Here are the lawmakers who voted against the debt limit bill:
