US House Democrats will do their part to pass debt limit bill, Jeffries says

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives will do their part to win passage of the bill to raise the nation's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said on Tuesday.

Jeffries added that he expects House Republicans will keep their promise of contributing at least 150 votes to pass the bill, and there should not be a problem advancing the bill through the Rules Committee.
