House Republicans seethe over Senate GOP's debt deal

House Republicans are questioning Senate Republicans’ decision-making at every turn, a rift that's fueling an intraparty fight over the debt ceiling.

Senate Republicans say this is the best deal they could get, forcing Democrats to raise the debt ceiling on their own and to name a specific number, as high as $2 trillion, rather than suspend the debt ceiling for a certain time period, such as through the election. Given the Senate’s filibuster threshold, Senate Republicans say they simply have a different responsibility than their House colleagues, who can often vote against whatever they want in the minority with little consequence.

House Democrats don’t need the same assist, allowing House Republicans to breathe fire all over their upper chamber counterparts. Senate Minority Whip John Thune said House Republicans criticizing McConnell’s gambit are “short-sighted” given the possibility of divided government in little more than a year.

“This is in the best interest of the country, by avoiding default. I think it’s also in the best interest of Republicans,” McConnell explained when asked of the internal criticism he’s receiving. “There are a lot of different voices. But the facts are not in dispute. This will lead to a simple majority, up-or-down vote on raising the debt ceiling.”

“I don’t know if it’s just a rebellious flare-up or if there’s something more strategic to it,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer , a former House member who supported the infrastructure bill. “I just get the sense that [House Republicans] feel beaten down, they feel like they’ve been made irrelevant by the majority. And probably not in the mood to cooperate.”

House Republican posts photo of his family holding guns days after Michigan school shootingRep. Thomas Massie, R-K.Y., is facing backlash from Democrats after he posted a Christmas photo of his family smiling and posing with an assortment of guns just days after four teenagers were killed in a shooting at a Michigan high school. Democrats freaking out... How is that news? Well to be fair, any given day is usually less than 4 days from a mass shooting in the States, so he'd never be able to show off his manly manly guns, if that was the criteria. Stunning that these are the people who claim ownership of family values and faith.
