GOP leaders tout McCarthy-Biden deal as ‘conservative’ victory as Republicans defect
Fox News
House Republicans held a call with reporters on Monday evening touting themselves as the winners of debt limit negotiations even as some members defect.
"They get an 18-month increase in the debt ceiling. And in return, we reduce spending, we have major changes to the permitting process," added McHenry, who described the deal as a "conservative bill that rides atop an 18-month increase in the debt ceiling."

McHenry negotiated the deal along with Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., who also backed up the final product and shook off complaints from the conservative House Freedom Caucus.
