Debt Ceiling Deal: Last-Gasp Senate Drama Forecast
Although President Biden and Speaker McCarthy finally reached a bipartisan agreement on raising the debt ceiling to avoid a catastrophic default, some fear conservatives may still threaten a delay in clearing the bill.
Any one senator could theoretically use procedural motions that would mean the June 5 deadline would be seriously in doubt, with senators on both sides vocal opponents to the legislation.
