Most in GOP praise the virtuoso performance of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the debt deal
Every time a few GOP lawmakers backed the bill, a few Democrats would add their votes, and the party tallies soared.
Mr. McCarthy has now flipped the script after a rocky start that saw him make history by needing a 15th ballot to win the speakership in January, leading many analysts to predict he wouldn’t survive the spring. Mr. McCarthy is supervising an oversight onslaught against Mr. Biden, his family and his administration. That includes investigations into Hunter Biden and a brewing battle with the FBI over a bureau file that lawmakers say includes bribery allegations against the president.
“I’m not going to file a motion to vacate, but I do think it’s going to be a discussion next week,” he said. “I don’t know how you avoid the discussion at this point; more Democrats voted for this bill than Republicans.” The speaker’s backers said it was too much to expect Mr. McCarthy and Republicans, holding a tiny majority in the House and in the minority in the Senate, to change decades of overspending.
Rep. Dan Newhouse, Washington Republican, said the way Mr. McCarthy handled the debt debate was “a breath of fresh air.”
