Just days to spare, Senate gives final approval to debt ceiling deal, sending it to Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) ā€” Fending off a U.S. default, the Senate has given final approval to a debt ceiling and budget cuts package. It's now on its way to President Joe Biden's desk to become law before a fast-approaching deadline. The Senate ground through late-night voting Thursday to wrap up work on the hard-fought deal. The compromise package negotiated between Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy leaves neither Republicans nor Democrats fully pleased with the outcome. But the result cuts spending for two years and suspends the debt limit until 2025 after the next presidential election. Biden says he will sign it into law as soon as possible.

Dems tap Chicago for 2024 convention, cite critical Midwest

WASHINGTON (AP) ā€” Democrats have chosen Chicago to host their 2024 national convention. The selection announced Tuesday is intended to keep the Democratic Party's momentum going after last fall's midterm election success in the critical Midwest. President Joe Biden chose Chicago over finalists that also included Atlanta and New York. Chicago is solidly Democratic, as is Illinois. But holding the party's convention in such a pro-union city underscores Biden's commitment to organized labor, which will be vital to his bid for a second term. Democrats also had a strong showing in Michigan last fall and hope to repeat that elsewhere in the region. The choice could counter Republicans, who'll hold their 2024 convention in Milwaukee.

Expelled Tennessee lawmakers both seeking seats again

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ā€” Two expelled Black Democratic lawmakers in Tennessee say they want to be reappointed, then elected back to their seats. The comments by former Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson follow their ouster by the Republican-led Legislature for a protest on the House floor urging passage of gun-control measures in the wake of a deadly school shooting in Nashville. Both former lawmakers told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday that they want to return to their positions as lawmakers. The Nashville metro council is likely to reappoint Jones during a specially called meeting Monday. The Shelby County Commission plans to announce soon when it will meet to fill the vacancy left by Pearsonā€™s expulsion. Likewise, commissioners can reinstall Pearson.
