Speaker McCarthy faces big test as debt bill heads for vote
By LISA MASCARO
AP Congressional Corre-
spondent
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Speaker Kevin McCarthy
is hurtling toward one of
the most consequential
weeks of the new House
Republican majority as he
labors to pass a partisan
package that would raise
the nation’s debt limit by
$1.5 trillion in exchange for
steep cuts that some in his
own party oppose.
McCarthy has almost no
room for error with his slim
five-seat majority hold on
power in the House. He
has scoffed at the drama
bearing down on him,
mocking public interest at
the will-he-or-won’t-he an-
ticipation of the embattled
Republican speaker’s abil-
ity to bring his fellow Re-
publicans in line.
But the political stakes are
sky-high for McCarthy, who
is trying to entice President
Joe Biden to the negotiat-
ing table.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., speaks at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, April 20, 2023.
