.SpeakerMcCarthy brushed off concerns from members of the FreedomCaucus over debt ceiling negotiations, saying he is confident he’ll have enough support from rank-and-file lawmakers to get a deal passed before the country defaults on its loans.
McCarthy returned to the Capitol Friday morning after another round of late-night negotiations, telling reporters they have continued to make progress but are still working through disagreements on spending and work requirements. Details of the deal are scant, but several Republicans have expressed opposition to what they’ve seen so far and are urging McCarthy to hold the line and not make any concessions.
Negotiators have six days before the default deadline, on which the country could become unable to pay its debts, according to a timeline provided by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
