President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an agreement in principle to avoid a potentially disastrous government default and raise the nation’s debt ceiling. But as details — and criticism — of the deal began to trickle out on Sunday, both sides moved to rally support for a plan that negotiators concede will not please everyone.
Speaking to reporters Sunday at the White House, Biden called the agreement “good news.”
“Members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus blasted the deal on Sunday.”
