Greene has favored the debt ceiling agreement, unlike some on the GOP right who have expressed skepticism about the deal.
The House Republican claimed the agreement would"clawback $400 MILLION" spent on overseas health aid, and endorsed a post from a conservative activist describing the deal as"a win for conservatives."
The agreement, which raises the $31.5 trillion debt limit for two years and cuts some federal spending, is designed to prevent a historic U.S. default on its debt in early June. Whilst firmly on the GOP right, Greene has been a strong McCarthy ally since she, which a number of other conservatives tried to block.
News that a tentative deal had been reached was confirmed by Biden and McCarthy on Saturday before a final agreement was reached the next day. Under its terms, non-defense discretionary spending will remain"roughly flat" in 2024, and only rise by one percent in 2025. Additional work requirements will be added for those on food assistance programs, while the Internal Revenue Service budget will be cut.
Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks at a press conference at the U.S. Capitol Building on May 18, 2023, in Washington, D.C. The House Republican has given a warm response to Speaker McCarthy's debt ceiling deal with President Biden.
