.RepMattGaetz, one of SpeakerMcCarthy's chief antagonists, predicted that a deal to lift the debt ceiling won't imperil his speakership despite falling short of demands from conservatives in his conference.
The emerging deal being brokered between McCarthy and the White House would cap federal spending, but not at the levels the House Freedom Caucus has demanded and far short of the 10-year window passed in an April debt ceiling bill viewed as an opening offer in negotiations with the president.The agreement is being shaped as hard-liners in both parties apply pressure on McCarthy and the president not to yield ground on areas such as work requirements for Medicaid.
In an encouraging sign for the speaker, Gaetz, one of the final holdouts in that speakership election, spoke positively of the budget talks on Thursday night and rejected the idea that McCarthy is in any danger of being deposed. The House-passed bill, which incorporated most of the caucus's demands, including a rollback of President Joe Biden's legislative accomplishments, has been rejected by Democrats as a non-starter.
But he defended the progress McCarthy has made in talks with the White House as putting more"downward pressure on spending than we have gotten in any deal on the debt limit in my lifetime." The Floridian said the deal McCarthy gets is not entirely within his control and defended him from conservatives agitating to"throw the bum out."
