Debt ceiling negotiations stall as GOP pushes for vote.

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is reportedly holding his vote on the GOP debt ceiling plan for ransom, recognizing his leverage in a narrowly divided chamber where every vote counts. With House Speaker Kevin McCarthy only able to lose four GOP votes, he can hardly afford to lose Santos. Santos is running for re-election, but has not received support from Republican campaign arms. His opposition to the GOP debt limit bill is reportedly over "weak work requirements," aligning himself with conservative concerns. However, this goes against the interests of his moderate district, raising questions about his motives.
