Schumer vows to keep Senate in session until debt ceiling bill passes

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told colleagues Thursday he will keep the Senate in session for as long as it takes to pass legislation to raise the debt ceiling and send it to President Biden’s desk, warning the “X-date” when the nation faces default is “less than four days away.”

“We will keep working until the job is done. Time is a luxury the Senate does not have,” he said.

“At this point, any needless delay or any last-minute holdups would be an unnecessary and even dangerous risk, and any change to this bill that forces us to send it back to the House would be entirely unacceptable,” Schumer said on the floor.
