McCarthy Notches Biggest Win Since Getting the Speaker’s Gavel and the Senate GOP Joined the Fight

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has gotten a debt limit bill through the House, ending weeks of speculation from detractors and putting the ball squarely in the Obiden Regime’s court.

Furthermore, McCarthy has surprisingly received an outpouring of support from Republicans in the Senate—including moderate (Read: RINO) ones—which may be an indication the GOP is ready to start fighting back. Don’t bet on it what you cannot afford to lose, though.

This from redstate.com.

The Limit, Save, Grow Act passed the House Wednesday night, representing McCarthy’s biggest win since he overcame opposition to his Speakership earlier this year.

While the White House and the democrats communists/globalists have been claiming they won’t accept anything other than a clean debt ceiling increase, McCarthy’s victory here will force The Regime to come to the table with Republicans, which itself is a big victory.

Moreover, the fact that he’s received support from Mitch McConnell (as well as others) is key, because it means the White House cannot do an end-run around the House and force the issue.

Punchbowl News breaks it down in their morning newsletter:

McCarthy also secured an extremely useful talking point. No matter how right-leaning and unrealistic the 320-page package is, House Republicans are the only ones to have passed legislation to lift the nation’s borrowing cap. McCarthy plans now to stand pat and slam Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for doing nothing and [R]esident Joe Biden for refusing to negotiate.

McCarthy received calls from a number of Senate Republicans on Wednesday night congratulating him on passing the bill. It’s clear that there isn’t support in the Senate GOP Conference for a clean debt-limit measure, not right now anyway, [but] the White House won’t be able to try bypassing McCarthy by cutting a deal with Senate Republicans.

After the vote McCarthy said:

Now, [Biden] can no longer put this economy in jeopardy. We have lifted the debt limit, we have done our job, we are the only body that passed anything.

On the contrary, though, Biden and his handlers have many tricks up their sleeves and some spread around our beloved country that are destroying our economy.

Previously discussed on RedState was how vital Senate Republican support is—and specifically that support from the moderate wing of the caucus. With RINOs like Todd Young, Susan Collins, and Mitt Romney lending their vocal support, as well as Mitch McConnell publicly calling on Biden to come to the table to negotiate with McCarthy, it’s clear Biden will have little choice in the matter but to sit down and read from his cue card what his handlers have on their minds.

Therein lies the problem—the communists/globalists have no counteroffer.

They were not the least bit interested in negotiating—they called McCarthy’s bluff and he responded with a bill.

Now the House has the upper hand and this infuriates and frightens the Left.

Biden is incapable of thinking, ‘We have to do something,’ but his handlers are behind the power curve and are likely thinking, ‘We have to do something.’

Being forced to come to the negotiating table after having been dealt a bad hand limits the Left’s options. How do they squeeze ‘Lie, Cheat, or Steal’ out of a bad hand of cards?

NOTE: Conservatives must not be caught flatfooted thinking of the ‘C’ word—Compromise. This is exactly what communists/globalists do not want to do.

[T]hey don’t want to get in the habit of tying the debt ceiling to budget cuts. That would be disastrous for their fiscal philosophy (inasmuch as they are considered to have one).

Good for McCarthy for sticking to this fight. Part of it is the fact that he has to, because the wing of the party to his right would never let anything else pass, but also for not cutting a bad deal to make everyone happy.

Advice to the House Conservatives: Maintain a tight grip on McCarthy’s short curlies. He has The Regime stuck in a bad position and must not succumb to whining or trickery.
