.SpeakerMcCarthy is in danger of not passing his proposed debt ceiling bill after some Republicans, including RepNancyMace, RepTonyGonzales and RepAndyBiggsAZ, have claimed they are unhappy with it. McCarthy can only afford to lose four votes.
McCarthy rolled out his 320-page proposal on Wednesday, but some Republicans, including Reps. Nancy Mace , Tony Gonzales , and Andy Biggs , have claimed they are unhappy with it."The whip count on this is not good," an unnamed senior GOP source told Axios on Thursday. McCarthy needs 218 votes to send the proposal to the Senate, which means he can only afford to lose four votes.
GOP members have competing complaints that could tank the passage of the bill. Some East Coast lawmakers are looking for a way to leverage the bill to expand the state and local tax, SALT, deduction. Other conservatives hope for stricter language on employment requirements for food stamps, and some have blamed the House Freedom Caucus for making McCarthy include far-right policies.
