Debt deal support uncertain as negotiations continue.

House Democrats are warning the White House that their support for a debt deal is not guaranteed, as they fear the White House is getting rolled in negotiations with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Democrats are concerned that the White House is taking their votes for granted and not communicating with them enough. Republicans are demanding spending cuts for a wide range of domestic programs, new work requirements on social safety net programs, and easing the permitting of energy projects, which is causing progressives to revolt. McCarthy is expected to rely on Democratic votes to get the bill over the finish line, but Democrats are worried about voting for something that goes against their constituents' interests.
