Republicans emerged from the debt ceiling fight blasting party leadership for pushing a bill that passed through the House with more support from Democrats than the GOP.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pulled his caucus together to pass a bill and cut a deal with the White House, but the final product disappointed some members."It confirms that Speaker McCarthy capitulated on nearly every front during negotiations with the Biden White House," Rep. Andy Biggs told the Washington Examiner. "The McCarthy plan caters to the Democrats' radical wish list.
McCarthy, as part of 15 rounds of voting for him to assume the speakership, promised House members the threshold to force a motion to vacate, a threat to remove him from the top spot, would be reduced to a single member requesting the move. "More Dems than GOP voted for this 'fiscally responsible' bill, a bill that completely eliminates the debt limit for the rest of Biden’s presidency," Mills tweeted."The term for a bill that gets more Democrat votes than Republican votes is a Democrat bill."
