As some members of the House Freedom Caucus rail against the debt ceiling compromise, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and his negotiators praised the deal as “transformational” and something that would change the country's trajectory.
Despite the compromise being met with pushback from the farther right wing of the party, McCarthy and his two negotiators, Reps. Garret Graves and Patrick McHenry expressed confidence that the deal will pass and pass with a majority of Republicans voting for the bill.“We did a conference call with our conference, and over 95% were overwhelmingly excited about what they see,” McCarthy told reporters Sunday morning.
Rep. Bob Good tweeted on Saturday night that no conservative could justify voting “Yes” on the deal. Rep. Dan Bishop tweeted that the people praising the debt ceiling bill were RINOs or “Republicans In Name Only.” The speaker said he is “not at all” worried about a member unhappy with the deal bringing up the motion to vacate his speakership. The bill might not have everything everyone wanted, but that’s the nature of negotiations and just how it is in divided government, McCarthy said.
McCarthy said he plans to both brief Senate Republicans on the debt ceiling bill and speak with President Joe Biden Sunday as he finalizes the text of the bill.
