House leaders 'confident' debt ceiling bill will pass despite some GOP hesitance
Fox News
House GOP leadership aides told Fox News Digital that they believe Speaker Kevin McCarthy's Limit, Save, Grow Act will pass largely as-is, despite some public grumbling about the bill.
"House Republicans are focused on getting to 218 [votes for passage], we’re continuing to lead, while Joe Biden sits on his hands and waits to see what we do. And when we pass the bill next week, he's gonna have no choice but to come to the table after months of ignoring McCarthy," the aide said.
Republican leaders are hoping to put President Biden and Senate Democrats on the hot seat with the Limit, Save, Grow Act, which aims to raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion or until the end of March 2024, while also capping discretionary government spending at fiscal 2022 levels. The White House and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have repeatedly refused to pair spending negotiations with the debt limit, putting them at a stalemate with a House GOP whose conservative wing has vowed to kill any bill that allows more borrowing without any spending cuts.
