Chip Roy (R-Texas) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chiproytx\/status\/1662813382553001986?s=20\">characterized<\/a> it as a \u201cturd-sandwich\u201d on Sunday morning, after <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chiproytx\/status\/1662800385260634117\">vowing<\/a> in another tweet that he would try to stop the expected bill from making it out of the lower chamber.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), chairwoman of the House Progressive Caucus, signaled on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d that the White House is likely to face some trouble drawing support from her caucus, which includes over 100 members in a narrowly-divided chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are one of the only countries in the world, if not the only country in the world, that is an industrialized country that puts any requirements on people who just want food,\u201d Jayapal said of imposing some stricter work requirements on government assistance programs. She called it \u201cvery bad policy\u201d and expressed doubts on its impact on curbing spending.<\/p>\n<p>The deal announced on Saturday night raises the debt ceiling until 2025 \u2013 well past the next election. A GOP one-pager indicated the debt deal would roll back non-defense discretionary spending to fiscal year 2022 levels. Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) said that accounting, though, includes a clawback of $29 billion of unspent COVID funds. Another source said that non-defense spending would stay roughly flat when factoring in other agreed-upon appropriations adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>The deal \u201clocks in the bureaucracy as post-COVID level,\u201d Bishop complained in a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepDanBishop\/status\/1662809894184013827?s=20\">tweet<\/a>, also expressing disappointment that the deal blocks just $1.9 billion of an $80 billion IRS funding boost that Democrats approved last year.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is expected to be released later on Sunday, after Biden and McCarthy speak to complete the agreement. Biden administration officials are also expected to speak with House Democrats to brief them further on the legislation afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leaders are eyeing a House vote on Wednesday, complying with Republicans\u2019 rule to have at least three days to review the text of a bill before voting.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But lawmakers weighing in on the deal indicated it may not have a smooth path across the finish line in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RandPaul\/status\/1662837549990068225?s=20\">tweeted<\/a> that the deal had \u201cfake spending cuts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) said he was \u201cappalled by the debt ceiling surrender\u201d late Saturday, shortly after the deal was announced and was briefed by McCarthy with other members on the components of the agreement. \u201cThe bottom line is that the U.S. will have $35 trillion of debt in January, 2025,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>McCarthy downplayed criticism from the right flank, saying that the bill does not have any concessions for Democrats \u2013 and is far from their demands for a \u201cclean\u201d debt ceiling increase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did a conference call with our conference, and over 95 percent were overwhelmingly excited about what they see,\u201d McCarthy said in a press conference on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that any time when you sit and negotiate within two parties, that you\u2019ve got to work with both sides of the aisle. So it\u2019s not 100 percent what everybody wants, but when you look, the country is going to be stronger,\u201d McCarthy said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Roy took issue with the 95 percent figure, saying in a tweet that he know of \u201cmore no\u2019s than that already.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden has called the deal \u201can important step forward that reduces spending while protecting critical programs for working people and growing the economy for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But he similarly acknowledged that \u201cnot everyone\u201d will get what they want as part of the compromise, while saying that the agreement protected his and congressional Democrats\u2019 \u201ckey priorities and legislative accomplishments.\u201d The White House has acknowledged the deal was the best it could do in a divided government.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>For now, some Democrats are treating the deal with skepticism.<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal on CNN would not directly answer whether beefed up work requirements for public assistance programs are a deal breaker for her, instead opting to wait until seeing the forthcoming bill text and the specifics regarding changes for veterans.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) in a statement on Sunday encouraged the president to continue considering unilaterally raising the debt limit through the 14th amendment \u2013 a risky and untested legal argument.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cBill text, not toplines and hallway pressers, will determine whether this is a good or bad deal. The 14th amendment must remain an option,\u201d Connolly said.<\/p>\n<p>The White House started reaching out to Democratic members and staff in both chambers to brief them on the agreement as soon as it was announced, according to a Democratic source.<\/p>\n<p>As more progressives and conservatives have drawn their own battle lines in recent weeks, there has been much expectation that both sides would likely be leaning heavily on moderates to pass a final bipartisan deal. But uncertainty remains around how some members toward the middle will receive the coming bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Moderate Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said on \u201cFox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> Sunday\u201d that he hadn\u2019t yet \u201cmade up\u201d his mind on the legislation. \u201cI\u2019m gonna listen to what the president\u2019s and his people\u2019s arguments are, but no, I\u2019m anything but a clear yes vote at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Summing up the reactions from both sides in the past day, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), who previously served as Democratic whip, said on MSNBC on Sunday that \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of whining on the right\u201d and \u201ca lot of concern on the left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I do believe that in the final analysis, both parties will come together and we\u2019re gonna have an agreement that the American people can be happy with, and I think that we can be comfortable with as long as legislators,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hairline conservatives within Congress, as well as their allies outside of it, are starting to mobilize against the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) had <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BasedMikeLee\/status\/1661716721575804928?s=20\">pledged<\/a> last week to use \u201cevery procedural tool at my disposal\u201d to slow down a debt limit bill that does not meet his standards.<\/p>\n<p>Russ Vought, the president of Citizens for Renewing America who was instrumental in the strategy of those resisting McCarthy for Speaker in January and extracting concessions from him, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/russvought\/status\/1662693705197793280?s=20\">suggested<\/a> that three of the 20 members who resisted McCarthy for Speaker could block the bill from coming to the House floor.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy appointed Roy, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) to the House Rules Committee \u2013 the last stop before legislation gets a floor vote \u2013 after he won the gavel.<\/p>\n<p>But only the three Republicans could block the legislation if all four Democrats on the panel voted against it \u2013 a move that would be a historic rebuke to the White House.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mike Lillis, Brett Samuels, and Mychael Schnell contributed.<\/em><\/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.
