The debt ceiling deal keeps fiscal 2024 spending flat at this year’s levels. Read more at straitstimes.com.
WASHINGTON - US House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Sunday lauded the debt ceiling deal he negotiated with Democratic President Joe Biden, but a prominent House conservative warned that McCarthy has “credibility issues” that may prompt some Republicans to seek his ouster as the top Republican in Congress.
Asked whether the Freedom Caucus would seek a vote to oust McCarthy in response to the deal, Buck told CNN’s State of the Union program: “I don’t know if the motion to vacate is going to happen right away. I do know that Speaker McCarthy has credibility issues.” “Speaker McCarthy’s position is absolutely safe,” US Representative Garret Graves, a Louisiana Republican who helped negotiate the debt ceiling deal, told CBS’ Face the Nation.
To regain conservatives’ trust, Buck added that McCarthy’s future actions will need to “involve spending responsibly” and stop relying on the votes of Democrats as he did to pass the debt ceiling suspension.The deal was approved by 149 House Republicans and 165 Democrats, strong majorities of both parties.
