A key player in debt ceiling deliberations downplayed conservative opposition to the newly announced framework deal.
Rep. Dusty Johnson , who was a key participant in negotiations, hailed the agreement, particularly provisions on spending, as a"big get" for Republicans that didn't give Democrats any major wins."Listen, there will be Freedom Caucus people who vote for this package. So when you're saying that conservatives have concerns, it is really the most colorful conservatives.
Four House Republicans — Reps. Tim Burchett , Matt Gaetz , Andy Biggs , and Ken Buck — voted against the Limit, Save Grow Act, Republicans' initial offering in the debt ceiling row, which was passed by the House last month. Some of them have already come out in opposition, such as Buck. I listened to Speaker McCarthy earlier tonight outline the deal with President Biden and I am appalled by the debt ceiling surrender.That is completely unacceptable.
