The House on Wednesday passed an $8 billion Hurricane Harvey relief package, sending it to the Senate where GOP leaders planned to attach a measure to increase the debt ceiling.
The House passed the measure easily in a 419-3 vote. Only three Republicans voted against it in apparent protest of the lack of any spending cut offsets: Reps. Justin Amash of Michigan, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Tom Massie of Kentucky.
