McCarthy's Debt Deal: A Republican Win for Now.
TL;DR Summary
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's position appears safe for now, despite conservative backlash over the bipartisan fiscal agreement he reached with President Joe Biden. While many conservatives are unhappy with the deal, they have not yet publicly threatened McCarthy's position. McCarthy has forged relationships with the right and his approval rating among Republicans has jumped by 10 points since he took the gavel. However, the honeymoon may be coming to a close, and McCarthy's position could be threatened if the GOP base turns against him.
