Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) said the final slog has been more complicated than he anticipated, as both sides have dug in on issues like work requirements\u00a0for public assistance programs. And a deal could be imminent \u2014\u00a0or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had a long list for a long time; what I didn\u2019t anticipate is we\u2019d have a very short list for a very long time,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s hours, or days. And I don\u2019t know [which].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saturday marks Day 11 of the tense talks pitting Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and his deputies against the White House negotiators <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointed by President Biden. Earlier in the week, the sides appeared to be nearing a deal on the contours of an agreement\u00a0that would\u00a0lift the debt ceiling for two years and cap federal spending over the same span.<\/p>\n<p>But conservatives and liberals have both balked at those terms, putting pressure on McCarthy and Biden to hold the line and remain at the table in search of deeper concessions from the other side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McHenry on Saturday said the\u00a0interconnected nature of\u00a0the various provisions means that nothing is agreed to until everything is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing is done,\u201d he said. \u201cThe interplay between all the issues on the table makes even a short list more complex, because we\u2019ve tried to balance this in a smart way, recognizing that a Democrat president has to sign this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The chief goal for Republicans, he said, remains the same as it has been: To cut deficit spending over the long haul.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe issue of spending, and the ability to have real cuts year over year, truly matters in this situation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>McHenry, who said he was up until 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning in search of a deal, said both sides are acting in good faith and want to see an agreement finalized soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven tired, nobody\u2019s trying to have a break-up conversation, because we know the imperative is to meet the X-date,\u201d he said. \u201cNow, that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re itchy for a deal in any way. But it means we need this to be good and resilient.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>They don\u2019t have much time to get it done.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen intensified the pressure on negotiators on Friday, when she announced that the government would run short of the funds to pay down all of its obligations on June 5 \u2014 the first hard deadline she\u2019s given amid the debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis clarifies that our timeline is very tight,\u201d McHenry said. \u201cThe updated X-date is a strong indication that June 5 is the day. We have public outlays that are public, and the large public outlays of that day indicate that it\u2019s a severe issue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Complicating the timeline, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has vowed to stall the legislation if and when it reaches the upper chamber, which puts pressure on the House to move a bill even more quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, McCarthy had agreed to rule changes at the start of the year dictating that any legislation must be introduced a full 72 hours before it hits the floor, to allow lawmakers the time to read and digest its contents before they\u2019re asked to vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans have already violated that rule this year, in passing their partisan debt-ceiling package last month. But McCarthy has vowed the rule will apply to whatever deal emerges from the current talks \u2014\u00a0and McHenry said Republicans will stick with that promise.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>That means the final legislative text must be written and posted, he said, before the 72-hour clock starts. A simple summary won\u2019t do.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to have text,\u201d McHenry said. \u201cThe Speaker\u2019s made it clear \u2014\u00a0he made it clear at the very beginning with the White House, he\u2019s made it very clear to us \u2014\u00a0he is not going to give in on an important procedural matter to House Republicans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an important piece of legislation, and members have demanded \u2014\u00a0and have the right \u2014 to review the legislation for 72 hours,\u201d he added. \u201cThat means you have to have something that stands up; you can\u2019t play tricks; there is no hiding the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
