If House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California, were to reach a compromise with Democrats, far-right members of his own party could either block a vote or remove him as speaker.
McCarthy was forced to bow to many of those Republicans’ demands in order to secure the speakership on 15 ballots — the longest contest since before the Civil War. “McCarthy's concessions to the far right in that process will leave him as the weakest speaker in generations and likely lead to the most dangerous game of budget brinkmanship in Washington since 2011,” Ritz wrote. “Leaders across both parties must work quickly to avoid an unprecedented debt default disaster.”
Ideally, policymakers avoid an impasse by negotiating to raise or reform the federal debt limit, and separately enact a sound bipartisan plan to get the nation’s debt under control.
