Confusion and Disagreement Surrounds US Debt Deal Remarks.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries responded to remarks made by Speaker Kevin McCarthy about the lack of Democratic support on the debt ceiling agreement made Saturday night. Jeffries said he has no idea what McCarthy is talking about and has not been able to review the actual legislative text. He also noted that the proposals backed by conservative GOP members in the House were not consistent with Democratic values. Jeffries added that a bipartisan resolution was the only way forward to avoid a catastrophic default.
