Jayapal says debt ceiling deal shows GOP doesn’t care about deficits: ‘No meaningful deficit reduction’
Fox News
Jayapal would not say how her caucus would lean on the bill but said some members are worried about the cuts agreed to by the White House and GOP leaders.
Her comments mirror those made by several conservative Republicans who said they won’t support the legislation because it doesn't cut enough. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., one of the first House Republicans to break away from the conference and oppose the bill, noted a report that said Jayapal praised the agreement as one that minimized GOP demands. She said the bill makes some improvements to the federal food stamp program, avoids a shutdown and gave the GOP no "major concessions."
