Freedom Caucus threatens ouster as McCarthy rushes forward with debt-limit vote
(Worthy News) – Speaker Kevin McCarthy is rushing forward a vote on a bipartisan agreement to hike the nation’s debt limit until after the 2024 election, even as a brewing revolt from hard-right members of the House Freedom Caucus casts doubt on his future as leader.
The full House is set to vote on the debt-limit proposal on Wednesday, in time for the Senate to consider the deal before the June 5 default deadline. Mr. McCarthy expressed confidence that the legislation would receive the support of a majority of House Republicans and Democrats.
“I’m confident that we’ll pass the bill,” Mr. McCarthy, California Republican, said. “If people are against saving all that money, or work reforms and welfare reform, I can’t do anything about it.” [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
