Fox News: Kevin McCarthy's debt ceiling deal advances to key committee in first test of GOP support
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's debt ceiling bill faces a key committee vote, and several conservative members are expected to challenge the agreement to raise the government debt ceiling and set federal spending limits. The committee will vote on sending the bill to the full House for a vote, expected to take place Wednesday. McCarthy is hoping to pull majority support from the political center to prevent a catastrophic federal default.
President Biden spent most of Memorial Day lobbying lawmakers over the phone to secure votes on the debt-ceiling deal. The package imposes some spending reductions for the next two years along with a suspension of the debt limit into January 2025. Raising the debt limit, now at $31 trillion, would allow Treasury to continue borrowing to pay the nation's already incurred bills.
