.SpeakerMcCarthy hasn’t released the GOP's budget proposal yet despite Democrats practically baiting him to do so. Consequently, the FreedomCaucus's blueprint fills the vacuum and allows Biden to try to define the GOP on spending.
The White House is invoking Adam Smith against congressional Republicans ahead of a showdown over the debt ceiling.
“We [will] use this week to show how the MAGA House Freedom Caucus budget proposal will be a five-alarm fire for hardworking Americans,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a briefing. Biden’s team first ratcheted up the rhetoric in the run-up to the midterm elections, during which Democrats avoided the massive losses some forecasters predicted. But Republicans took the House, setting up a series of legislative and policy confrontations between both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
The president would obviously reap some political benefit from being able to pin a similar setback on Republicans. Nevertheless, he needs a healthy economy to give him the best chance to win reelection.
