.SenatorTimScott became the latest GOP presidential candidate to come out in opposition to the debt limit bill brokered by SpeakerMcCarthy and President JoeBiden over the weekend. 'The short answer is no,' Scott said of the deal.
Scott was adamant he didn't support the deal."The short answer is no," Scott said in an interview with Axios."I think Kevin did a good job of figuring out how to negotiate with someone who did not want to negotiate.
Other Senate Republicans have begun to oppose the bill, including Sen. Mike Braun ."This debt ceiling deal makes our current bloated spending levels the new baseline going forward, setting us further down the path to financial ruin. We need deep spending cuts, and Congress shouldn’t get paid until we deliver a real budget that seriously addresses our massive debt," he tweeted on Wednesday.
Fellow South Carolinian and presidential hopeful Nikki Haley denounced the deal as well on Tuesday as well as slamming DeSantis and former President Donald Trump for supporting a 2018 debt limit bill."Adding at least $4 trillion to America’s $31 trillion national debt over two years without substantially cutting spending is no way to run our country’s fiscal affairs. Business as usual won’t get the job done," said Haley.
Scott, later on in the interview, wavered on a question about supporting a six-week abortion ban, a factor that some anti-abortion conservative groups have called for and which DeSantis has supported by signing into law in Florida.
