.SpeakerMcCarthy released his debt ceiling bill on Wednesday, and a plethora of House Republicans are likely to vote against it. Here is a list of House GOP members likely to reject McCarthy's measure, which needs 218 votes to pass.
Congress has until the end of the summer to raise the debt ceiling. If it fails to do so, the United States will default on the national debt. McCarthy released a 320-page bill, the Limit, Save, Grow Act, with the goal of bringing the measure to the House floor for a vote sometime next week.The plan proposes raising the debt ceiling over the next year by either $1.5 trillion or until March 31, 2024, whichever comes first.
Gaetz said prior to the bill's release that there are"major questions" regarding the dollar amount and policy concessions seen in the Senate. He has a proposal of his own. Biggs told reporters that McCarthy's proposal keeps nondiscretionary and nondefense spending at 2022 levels, which is a"long ways away" from Biggs's demand to bring it down to pre-pandemic levels.
