Debt ceiling questions spark tension and reform concerns in Washington.

President Biden refused to tell reporters how he might persuade skeptics in his own party to vote for the high-stakes debt ceiling deal expected later this week, while also criticizing the press for not living in the "real world." The House is set to vote on the deal Wednesday after Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an agreement. The legislation includes new work requirements for childless adults receiving food stamps, rearranging $80 billion allocated to new IRS enforcement, and lowering non-defense discretionary spending by 1%. Fiscal hawks and progressives are balking at the deal, while Republicans had hoped for larger cuts or rollbacks to new programs they opposed.
