House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has blamed President Biden and Democrats for 'reckless spending' but must also persuade his own caucus on the debt limit.
Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, a Republican, said while speaking to CNN's Melanie Zanona that he needs"some revisions in the language" of the plan before he supports it, without elaborating any further.
Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, blasted McCarthy's plan for repealing clean energy provisions and work requirements associated with healthcare coverage. "Yesterday, Speaker McCarthy sided with the extreme MAGA wing of his conference and released a blueprint to devastate hard-working American families," she said."MAGA House Republicans are holding the American economy hostage in order to take a hatchet to programs Americans rely on every day to make ends meet.
