What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Kevin Cramer expects Republicans to attempt a budget reconciliation package during the lame-duck session, which would include action to lift the debt ceiling and boost defense funding. Republicans abandoned a previous proposal for a third party-line reconciliation package that would have provided around $100 billion for defense spending and farm aid. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries suggested in September that the debt limit could see action.
