During a conference-wide conference call Saturday night, Speaker Kevin McCarthy highlighted what he sees as GOP victories in the agreement. | Patrick Semansky/AP PhotoRepublican congressional leaders and the White House are sprinting to finalize the text of their two-year bipartisan budget deal as they race to sell their parties on the details before an expected vote in the House this week.
President Joe Biden will likely need a substantial number of Democrats to back the bill. Several conservatives are decrying the deal as a betrayal of the Republican debt package passed by the House last month. Rep. Dusty Johnson , a close McCarthy ally, disputed that characterization of how the legislation would handle domestic spending, however. As conservatives tweeted their displeasure with the emerging details,that non-defense funding would be closer to the fiscal 2022 levels Republicans had originally sought for the coming fiscal year.
There were rumblings of a revolt against the agreement by House Freedom Caucus members after it was released. They likely couldn’t kill the agreement on their own, but they can make McCarthy’s life miserable depending on how far they take their displeasure.
