The measure was approved late Thursday night after passing the House in yet another late session the night before. Biden was expected to sign it at the White House on SaturdayAfter days of default threats, the debt limit-budget agreement was worked out by Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, giving Republicans some of their spending-cut demands but holding the line on major Democratic priorities.
