Rep. Dusty Johnson said the debt ceiling bill will pass despite a small number of 'colorful conservatives' voting against it, dismising claims that the bill is a loss for the GOP.
Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram discusses the latest developments following President Biden and Speaker McCarthy reaching a tentative debt ceiling deal and the reactions from Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., said Sunday that a debt ceiling agreement is"going to pass," and that only a small portion of the"most colorful conservatives"Johnson, chair of the Republican Main Street Caucus and a lead negotiator on the debt ceiling, dismissed criticisms from Freedom Caucus members who claim the reported agreement Saturday reached with the White House is a loss for the GOP. The deal, he said, is"fantastic," and will be passed with a strong majority.
"When we say conservatives are against it, I want to make it clear, I don’t know a single one of the mainstream caucus conservatives," Johnson said Sunday on CNN."There will be Freedom Caucus members that vote for this package. So when you’re saying that conservatives have concerns, it is really the most colorful conservatives. Some of those guys you mentioned didn’t vote for the thing when it was kind of a Republican wish list.
Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., said Sunday that a debt ceiling agreement is"going to pass," and that only a small portion of the"most colorful conservatives" in Congress oppose it."I am hearing the ‘deal’ is for a $4 trillion increase in the debt limit," Good tweeted Saturday."IF that is true, I don’t need to hear anything else. No one claiming to be a conservative could justify a YES vote.
