Jeffries' Comments on Debt Ceiling Deal and Democratic Support

TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy are expected to complete the debt ceiling agreement on Sunday, with the legislative bill to be released by House Republicans. The agreement is expected to raise the country's borrowing authority in exchange for cuts to spending, and includes a two-year appropriations deal and a two-year debt limit extension. The bill will have to pass both the GOP-led House and Democratic-controlled Senate. The agreement includes work requirements for receiving federal aid under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, for Americans up to 54 years old, with exceptions for homeless people and veterans.
