Democrats are trying to peg Republicans as being in disarray over the budget as the White House seeks to gain as much negotiating leverage as possible amid POTUS's debt ceiling standoff with the GOP.
But while undermining Republicans may be politically advantageous for Democrats, it risks jeopardizing talks and a default if the White House and the GOP do not extend the country's $31.4 trillion borrowing authority before the summer.House Republican Study Committee Chairman Kevin Hern is pushing back on the White House's GOP in disarray criticism.
But Republican disarray was underscored last week with a disputed New York Times report that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has privately complained about House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington's leadership on the debt ceiling and budget so far. McCarthy reportedly specifically took issue with Arrington's budget time frame.
"But the real time for the administration to pounce will be if and when such a proposal is actually released," he said."It cannot help but contain unpopular cuts, which will reinforce Biden’s argument about Republican attacks on popular programs." White House spokesman Andrew Bates called out House Republicans on Monday for leaving Washington, D.C., for a two-week Easter-Passover recess without releasing a budget, emphasizing "the ultra-MAGA" Freedom Caucus's influence on the process.
