“The White House is kicking its outreach to congressional Democrats into overdrive as it tries to sell lawmakers on President Biden’s debt ceiling deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy,” Axios reports.
“Democratic votes likely will be necessary to pass the bill through the narrowly divided House led by McCarthy, given the vows from right-wing House Freedom Caucus members to oppose it.”
“The Biden administration’s pitch to fellow Democrats is an intellectual appeal on the merits of the bill, rather than trademark D.C. tactics such as legislative horse-trading or high-pressure tactics.”
