Six Republicans Already Voting No On McCarthy’s Spending Bill – Several More Have Signaled They Will Reject The Deal
Many congressional Republicans have slammed the tentative debt ceiling deal House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached with President Biden — saying they will vote “no” on the measure despite fears of a catastrophic economic collapse.
While McCarthy boasted Sunday that 95% of his fellow GOP members support the deal – which he promised carried a historic amount of spending cut – many conservatives took to Twitter to bash the compromises the California Republican and Biden made as “unacceptable.”
Rep. Ralph Norman, of South Carolina, described the deal as “insanity,” writing: “A $4T debt ceiling increase with virtually no cuts is not what we agreed to. Not gonna vote to bankrupt our country. The American people deserve better.”
Fellow congressman Bob Good, of Virginia, also slammed the proposed $4 trillion increase to the debt limit, tweeting, “IF that is true, I don’t need to hear anything else. No one claiming to be a conservative could justify a YES vote.”
GOP Representatives Roy, Bishop, Boebert, Biggs, Rosendale, and Buck are also hard nos.
Rep. Ken Buck, of Colorado, said McCarthy’s tentative deal with Biden on Saturday night ultimately gave up what the GOP was looking for in the negotiations.
Several more have signaled they will reject the deal:
Luna
Cloud
Santos
Gaetz
Clyde
While full details are still under wraps, the deal would raise the debt limit for two years — extending it beyond the 2024 presidential election — in exchange for cutting government spending during the same period.
In any case, this would be a huge loss for the American people and McCarthy will have to rely on Dems to get this deal through!
