Top Senate Republicans coalesce around McCarthy after he unveils debt limit proposal
Fox News
Both moderate and conservative Republican senators praised House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for having a debt limit plan and said President Biden needs to start talking to his GOP opponents.
House Republicans have indicated that they will have a bill ready next week, the details of which are still unclear. McCarthy revealed during an address to Wall Street on Monday that the legislation aims to lift the debt ceiling for a year while also capping discretionary spending at fiscal year 2022 levels.

The bill would need 218 votes to pass the House, meaning moderate Republicans in purple districts would have to sign off on legislation along with hardliners with ruby red constituencies.
