Spending and debt ceiling plan: What’s next?
- President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have announced an agreement in principle to raise the nation's debt ceiling and avoid a potentially catastrophic default.
- The agreement includes spending cuts demanded by Republicans, a two-year budget deal that would hold spending flat for 2024 and impose limits for 2025, expansions for work requirements for food-stamp recipients and tweaks to an environmental law to streamline energy projects reviews.
- McCarthy said the House will vote on Wednesday and if the deal passes both chambers without any holdups, then default should be avoided by the June 5 deadline.
