The Senate voted 61-38 to end debate and advance the debt limit increase bill.
The US Senate then held a final vote on raising the debt limit after voting to end debate.
A simple majority was required.
The Senate voted 50-48 to raise the debt limit by $480 billion.
But this still wasn’t good enough for Chuck Schumer.
Schumer shouted from the senate floor late Wednesday evening and blasted Republicans.
Democrat Senator Joe Manchin was seen burying his head in his hands as Schumer went on an unhinged tirade.
