Hugo Gurdon thinks GOP wins with tentative debt ceiling deal.

Biden and McCarthy’s Tentative Deal Raises Debt Ceiling Until 2025

The Republican Party has emerged victorious in the debt ceiling deal with GOP.”>tentative debt ceiling deal, according to Hugo Gurdon of The Washington Examiner. Appearing on Fox Report with Jon Scott, Gurdon explained that the deal represents a significant win for the Republicans, who have been painted as “the party of no” in the past by Democratic lawmakers.

“What Kevin McCarthy did — what the House Republicans did this time was to pass legislation which became the only legislation which actually raised the debt ceiling from the 31.4 trillion. So it became the basis for negotiations,” Gurdon said. “It’s very clear that Joe Biden, he even sort of conceded it in the remarks he just made, that no one gets everything that they want. And of course the Republicans didn’t get everything they want. But Kevin McCarthy said that they would not right from the start.”

Despite President Joe Biden’s promise that the White House was not negotiating with House Republicans on the debt ceiling, a tentative deal has emerged after weeks of negotiations between Biden’s team and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

“[Biden] had to negotiate because he could see himself losing the PR battle on this and there are some elements in this which, you know, the Left will really dislike,” Gurdon said.

Gurdon highlighted McCarthy’s success in phasing in work requirements for SNAP benefits, which the White House had previously said it would not budge on. According to Gurdon, this deal could serve as a template for future negotiations.
