United States Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell welcomed the Congress' decision to suspend the debt limit under the previously negotiated conditions, stressing that the bill "begins to curb Washington Democrats' addiction to reckless spending that grows our nation's debt."
"Tonight, the Senate passed legislation that will reduce federal spending by $1.5 trillion, begin to reform the infrastructure permitting process, finally rescind unspent COVID dollars, and cut spending at the IRS [Internal Revenue Service]. But our work is far from over, particularly in delivering necessary support to America's armed forces," McConnell said in a written statement.
"In the coming months, Senate Republicans will continue working to provide for the common defense and control Washington Democrats' reckless spending," he concluded.
