Debt Limit Crisis: How Three Republicans Could Make McCarthy's Life Difficult This Week

 Despite striking a deal with President Joe Biden, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's week could be made difficult by three powerful Republican colleagues.

As part of his campaign to secure the speaker's gavel earlier this year, McCarthy promised changes to the House Rules Committee, or "The speaker's committee" - a pledge that was pivotal to him gaining the votes of Reps.

CURRENT CLIMATE: INSIDE BIDEN'S EMBATTLED ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA. Now, those same three additions are in a position to hold up a vote on the debt deal by refusing to support it for floor consideration.

The committee currently seats nine Republicans and four Democrats, and with all four blue members voting against the bill, three conservatives could sink the plan.

Roy tweeted on Monday "That it was explicit both that nothing would pass Rules Committee without AT LEAST 7 GOP votes - AND that the Committee would not allow reporting out rules without unanimous Republican votes."

Why I will oppose the #DebtCeiling “deal.” It’s not a good deal. Some $4 Trillion in debt for - at best - a two year spending freeze and no serious substantive policy reforms. #NoDeal

If three of the GOP members vote against the bill, the only path for approval is if one of the minority members crosses party lines, a highly unlikely scenario.

The House Freedom Caucus will have a meeting tonight, Norman said, noting they'll be having ongoing discussions on how to tackle the debt bill.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
