Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) had a negative assessment of Republican leadership after President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) reached an agreement on the debt limit crisis.
“No, I think it was an abysmal failure on the part of Republican leadership. Quite honestly, this is a deal that we could have gotten with a Democratic majority,” Good, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told ABC13.The 99-page bill released Sunday would suspend the U.S. debt limit through 2025, effectively avoiding a federal default before June 5, the"X-date" established by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
Good opposed McCarthy for speaker of the House through 14 votes earlier this year, making the extremely conservative representative one of the last holdouts before McCarthy was voted through. About 20 other conservatives withheld their vote for McCarthy until the very end, with Good voting “present” in the final round.
