The House of Representatives has now officially voted to raise the US debt limit on Wednesday, averting a potentially disastrous government shutdown.

The Details:

The House voted to raise the ceiling by $2.5 Trillion dollars by a measure of 221 to 209 mostly along party lines. The only Republican to vote in favor of the measure was Rep. Adam Kinzinger. The Senate voted in favor of the measure by a measure of 50-49.

The increase is expected to last beyond the midterm elections and well into 2023.
