GOP senators frustrated with McConnell deal to raise debt limit, as monthslong standoff appears close to end
Fox News
Senate Republicans appear likely to grudgingly accept a deal Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell struck to raise the debt ceiling.
"Let them do it. They got the votes to do it," he added. "But we got to look out for Medicare expansion too. You know we want to make sure we do the right thing there too. So it's kind of got us between a rock and a hard place."
Nearly all Senate Republicans earlier this year signed a letter saying they would refuse to vote to increase the debt ceiling in protest of Democrats' partisan spending. They argued Democrats should raise the debt ceiling using reconciliation to avoid the filibuster.
