Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) praised President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) debt ceiling bill on Wednesday, claiming Republicans got "huge wins" in the new bill.
Greene listed nine key wins for the Republican Party in a Twitter thread on Wednesday night ahead of a crucial vote on the bill in the House of Representatives. The 99-page bill includes provisions on defense, and it seeks to curb government spending.

"I speak the truth. Always have," Greene tweeted. "And the truth is: Republicans have huge wins in this fight."
Greene claimed the new bill eliminates large portions of 2023 funding for the IRS, and she said it allows the GOP to punish "Anthony Fauci, former FBI director James Comey, and former CIA Director John Brennan" by defunding "their" retirement. It also cuts funding from the Green New Deal and defunds self-proclaimed "sanctuary cities," she said.
"I will not let [Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer, [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell & [Sen.] Lindsey Graham [R-SC] pump out a clean debt ceiling increase that gets the support of every Democrat and a few RINOs," Greene tweeted.

The vote comes after monthslong negotiations between the White House and Congress. The Senate is expected to pass the legislation later this week ahead of a June 5 deadline.
The United States reached its debt ceiling in January, but Congress was given a June deadline until the federal government would be unable to pay its bills.
