Biden and McCarthy Reach Agreement to Suspend Debt Ceiling, But Deal Faces Criticism from Both Sides of the Aisle

Republicans argue that the deal does not include enough spending cuts, while Democrats are pushing for more spending. The White House and congressional leaders must now convince enough lawmakers in the narrowly divided House and Senate to pass the legislation in order to prevent the nation from defaulting on its debts.
