GOP leadership has moved to quell conservative outrage over the debt ceiling compromise negotiated by JoeBiden and SpeakerMcCarthy.
The same debt ceiling standoff that brought House Republicans to the height of party unity eventually tore them apart after Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached a deal with the White House to pass modest spending cuts.
The GOP honeymoon came crashing to an end, however, as Congress, racing toward a June 5 deadline to avoid default, took up a compromise bill McCarthy brokered with the president that fell far short of Freedom Caucus demands. Rep. Scott Perry , the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, lamented that McCarthy had greenlighted trillions in new spending for a"pittance," squandering the leverage unity had given them in talks with the White House.
Nonetheless, Majority Leader Steve Scalise promised on Wednesday that the deal was just a"down payment" on further fiscal reforms, while McCarthy announced a bipartisan commission to scrutinize the whole budget, not just the slice of discretionary spending Washington tackled in its compromise.
