Tim Kaine (D-Va.) \u2014 and that votes would be limited to 10 minutes to speed the process. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The chamber would then vote on final passage.<\/p>\n<p>The breakthrough came after a multi-hour standoff with defense hawks, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who demanded commitments from Schumer and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) to protect defense spending from a potential 1 percent rescission later in the year and to promise action on a defense supplemental spending bill. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic leader entered a joint statement with McConnell into the congressional record before announcing the deal to move forward on amendments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The statement clarified that the spending caps imposed by the debt limit deal negotiated by President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) would not prevent the Senate from passing supplemental spending bills to provide more money to the Defense Department or respond to a national emergency. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter we finish voting on the amendments, we are im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely considering final passage, and by passing this bill we will avoid default,\u201d Schumer announced. \u201cAmerica can breathe a sigh of relief.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Graham, who earlier in the day had threatened to drag out the debate over the debt limit until Tuesday unless his concerns about defense spending were addressed, announced that Schumer had agreed to move a supplemental defense spending bill later this year. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been informed that shortly the majority leader will come to the floor and announce his commitment and the body\u2019s commitment to do a supplemental to make sure that the damage done by this bill is at least partially corrected,\u201d Graham said. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis bill puts our military behind the eight ball. There\u2019s not one penny in this bill for Ukrainian assistance,\u201d he added. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) told reporters after the announcement of the agreement that \u201cthere really is a desire by the vast majority of the members of the Senate to actually take care of the defensive needs of our country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe way that the bill was crafted, if we were not able to do all <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriations bills then the non-defense discretionary [spending] came out better and defense came out worse,\u201d he said, referring to a provision in the bill that would cut discretionary spending across the board as a penalty if Congress fails to pass the regular spending bills by year\u2019s end. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Schumer returned to the floor after the first amendment vote to read aloud his joint statement with McConnell because he wanted to \u201cdispel rumors\u201d that the debt limit deal might shut off the possibility of additional spending on defense and other priorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis debt ceiling deal does nothing to limit the Senate\u2019s ability to appropriate emergency supplemental fund to ensure our military capabilities are sufficient to deter China, Russia and other adversaries,\u201d he announced. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>He added that the bill would not limit the Senate\u2019s ability to appropriate emergency funding for disaster relief or to respond to the fentanyl crisis. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Aris Folley contributed.
