“You’re wrong,” an ebullient McCarthy said when asked about critics underestimating him.
He later insisted that the White House would not negotiate with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on a debt ceiling increase and that ultimately Congress would lift the borrowing limit without any conditions at all. “Clean, clean, clean,” he told CNN in April, referencing the push for a clean debt ceiling resolution. But McCarthy ultimately passed a bill in April on GOP votes alone. He then later forced President Joe Biden to negotiate a debt limit suspension with spending cuts.
What basis is there for confidence?” Still, there haven’t been signs yet that the hardline conservatives will actually move to oust the speaker. During a House Freedom Caucus conference call Tuesday night, when the motion to vacate was briefly brought up, Chairman Scott Perry, a Pennsylvania Republican, dismissed the idea as “premature” and the conversation quickly moved on, according to a source on the call.
