deal reached with kevin mccarthy to raise the nation s debt limit. here is what the president had to say. i m about to go in and call mccarthy now, make sure all the ts are cross and the is are dotted. a few on capitol hill have expressed some skepticism that the bill will have enough support to pass. today, speaker mccarthy told reporters that he is confident there will be enough votes to get through his chamber. to take you back to where we started, back to february 1. sat down with the president. i said, let s work together to raise the debt ceiling but curb the amount of spending. cut red tape. get work requirements to help people get back into work. i think this agreement frames all of that from limit, save, grow. it doesn t get everything everybody wanted. i think it s a positive bill. we did a conference call with our conference. over 95% were excited about what they see. they get the text today. look, in every single negotiation, when it comes to the debt ceilin
