McCarthy Pushes Debt Ceiling Deal Despite Growing Criticism from Both Parties

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy negotiated a deal with President Biden to raise the debt ceiling, though the bill faces opposition in Congress.
The deal passed a key House committee but hardline Republicans vowed to vote against it, and some Democrats also expressed disapproval.
The bill would raise the debt limit, cut some spending and change rules around food assistance programs and COVID-19 funds.
The Congressional Budget Office said the bill could cut deficits by $1.5 trillion over a decade.
Lawmakers have until Monday to act before the government defaults on its debt.
