all right, good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. we are watching right now debate wrap up at this hour, as the house gets ready to vote on the crucial debt ceiling deal. that s the speaker of the house speaking right there. earlier today, the republican proposal passed a key procedural vote, but it only passed with the help from democrats. it did not have the votes to pass it on their own, after 29 republicans defected. as of now, the bill is being discussed on the floor. it s expected to pass within the hour, despite that fairly significant republican opposition. this debt ceiling vote has been a crucial task for house republicans. for the moment, they took control in january, the big question was how the maga caucus, the majority of whom, let s remember, voted for trump s coup on january 6th, after the sacking of the capital, how are those folks going to actually govern? empowered with one of the two houses of congress. one half of one third of the federal governme
