Summary

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was able to narrowly pass a bill to temporarily raise the debt limit. But it was paired with spending cuts and policy changes to social programs that mean it's dead on arrival in the Democratic-held Senate. So what's next in the ongoing stalemate?

This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

This episode of the podcast was produced by Elena Moore. It was edited by Lexie Schapitl and Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
