After President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) signed off on a final budget agreement and a raise of the debt ceiling, the two sides moved onto a difficult task: selling the legislation to their respective parties to get it passed through Congress.

D.C. leaders had mixed responses to a deal reached between the House and President Biden regarding raising the debt limit to avoid defaulting on financial obligations.

After days of intense negotiations and weeks of talks, an agreement in principle has been reached to raise the debt ceiling.

An “agreement in principle” between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy would raise the nation’s legal debt ceiling, but now Congress has only days to approve a package that includes spending cuts and would avert a potentially disastrous U.

I think we’re in good shape,” Biden said at midday. The compromise announced late Saturday includes spending cuts but risks angering some lawmakers as they take a closer look at the concessions. Biden told reporters at the White House upon his return from Delaware that he was confident the plan will make it to his desk.
