McCarthy Feels Pressure from the Right

Punchbowl News: “A few things are true about the House Republican position on the debt limit.”

“No. 1: The proposal unveiled this morning by Speaker Kevin McCarthy is likely to move significantly to the right before a floor vote.”

“No. 2: This morning’s closed House Republican Conference meeting revealed that McCarthy is willing to throw everything at the wall to get a debt-limit bill through his chamber. McCarthy even said that he’s willing to change the duration of the debt-limit hike. He wants to lift it until May 2024, but some conservatives want a shorter hike.”

“McCarthy is also considering repealing the Inflation Reduction Act as part of the bill in order to win over support from the right.”
