The House narrowly passed SpeakerMcCarthy’s debt ceiling bill last month through a 217-215 vote. Here are some of the biggest changes McCarthy made to his debt ceiling and how they might pose challenges to the GOP later on.
Some House Republicans are reportedly worried about a slew of last-minute changes that were made to Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s debt limit proposal, expressing concerns the Republican leader is harming chances of passing a compromise bill by making unrealistic promises to the most conservative members of his party.
On the day of the vote, Mace held an afternoon meeting with McCarthy as the South Carolina Republican unveiled some of her top requests — many of them unrelated to the debt limit bill itself. In exchange for her support, McCarthy promised to move legislation forward on at least three fronts: gun control, cannabis, and reproductive health.
Most notably, McCarthy agreed to make changes to one of his provisions that would repeal tax credits on clean fuels to address concerns from some Midwestern lawmakers, particularly from Iowa. After meeting with members of the Iowa delegation late Tuesday, McCarthy agreed to include exceptions to preserve those credits for those who entered into binding contracts between August 2022 and April 19.
Democrats have already taken aim at the proposal, especially after a report by the progressive Center on Budget and Policy Priorities predicted more than 10 million people, including millions of children, would be at risk of losing at least some of their food stamp benefits should the plan go through.In the days and hours leading up to the vote, several Republican leaders defended the changes made to the bill, noting they were merely clarifications and that “nothing of substance” was changed.

Meet the House Republicans Who Democrats Hope Will Defect on the Debt LimitWASHINGTON — House Democrats who this week began a long-shot bid attempting to force a debt limit increase bill to the floor are pinning their hopes not just on a convoluted legislative gambit, but also on another highly improbable feat: getting a small group of Republicans to cross party lines and join them. While they concede it faces long odds, Democrats privately argue there is a path to pulling it off — or at least to coming close enough that Republicans feel compelled to cut a deal with th
