Debt ceiling deal faces opposition and work requirements for food stamps.

A group of hard-right Republican lawmakers have opposed a deal to raise the US debt-ceiling, indicating that the bipartisan agreement could face a difficult path through Congress before the US runs out of money next week. The opposition highlights the hurdles that President Joe Biden and top congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy will have to overcome to see the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and Democratic-controlled Senate pass the package. The 99-page bill would suspend the debt limit through Jan. 1, 2025, allowing lawmakers to set aside the politically risky issue until after the November 2024 presidential election.
