A House Democrat knocked the tentative debt ceiling deal for lacking any progressive priorities but conceded the measure might still get Democratic votes.
"None of the things in the bill are Democratic priorities," Rep. Jim Himes told Fox News Sunday."That's not a surprise, given that we're now in the minority. But the obvious point here, and the speaker didn't say this, the reason it may have some traction with some Democrats is that it's a very small bill."Speaker Kevin McCarthy crowed that"there's not one thing in the bill for Democrats" in the bill and that"Democrats are very upset.
"In the service of actually not destroying the economy this week, [it] may get Democratic votes," he added."It's not done yet. And all you need to do is check the social media of the Freedom Caucus, who were just obliterating this deal." Once Congress turns the page on the debt limit battle, Himes believes it needs to reassess its approach to governing via crisis and warned that Democrats may seek to give Republicans a taste of their medicine if the GOP gets back in the White House.
