These 2 Pennsylvania representatives voted against the debt ceiling bill

The House voted to suspend the debt ceiling Wednesday night, moving a plan to avert a major default on the nation’s debt one step closer to being ratified.

The bipartisan bill served as a significant test for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who worked with President Joe Biden to negotiate a bill that would pass and get sent to the Senate. It took concessions from both sides to move the 99-page bill to a place where passage could become reality.
