Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal said White House negotiators and Democratic leaders should be concerned about progressive support for the tentative deal to raise the debt ceiling for two years
“Yes, they have to worry,” Jayapal told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” referring to some of the concessions made by the White House to reach the agreement with Republicans. Following the announcement of the deal Saturday night, the White House and Republican leaders in Congress have been mounting an intensive push to consolidate support. But the marathon is far from over, and there remains little certainty the nation will avoid a default.
Senior White House officials have been calling House Democrats since Saturday night to shore up support as some in the party say the Biden administration conceded too much. Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes, the former chair of the pro-business New Democrat Coalition, told “Fox News Sunday” he was leaning toward a “no” vote on the tentative deal.
