House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) denied having complained about the debt ceiling bill to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
McCarthy boasted on Sunday in an appearance on Fox News that Jeffries had said there was"not one thing in the bill for Democrats.” Jeffries claimed otherwise, saying that he has"no idea" what McCarthy was talking about.“I have no idea what [McCarthy is] talking about, particularly because I have not been able to review the actual legislative texts. All that we’ve reached is an agreement in principle,” Jeffries said in an interview on CBS's Face the Nation.
“What I have consistently said, however, privately and publicly, was that the extreme MAGA Republican negotiating position and that the extreme bill that they passed on April 26, the Default on America Act, contained nothing that was consistent with Democratic values or American values,” he added.
