Debt ceiling deal causes division among Democrats and Republicans.

TL;DR Summary
Key Democrats and Conservatives criticized the debt ceiling deal struck by President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which would lift the debt limit and cap spending over the next two years. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was cagey about shoring up enough Democratic support to seal the deal, and Rep. Jim Himes said he's "anything but a clear yes" on the tentative agreement. Democrats in Congress and the White House "have to worry" that the Progressive Caucus won't support the deal, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal took issue with the agreement's provision to expand work requirements for some Americans on food stamps.
