Rep. PatrickMcHenry believes there are enough votes to pass the debt ceiling bill in the House despite opposition by several Republicans. McHenry also said the deal should not leave any parties happy, but that it is the nature of 'a divided Washington.'
McHenry, speaking on CNBC's Squawk Box on Wednesday, conceded that the deal did not get Republicans everything they wanted but reaffirmed that is the way negotiations work with Democrats in control of the Senate and the presidency."I think we have the votes to pass this today, and I think that will project confidence to Americans that we’ll get things done. Look, you said it, in a negotiation, you're not gonna get everything you want," McHenry said.
The lead negotiator for House Republicans also said the deal should not leave any parties happy but that it is the nature of"a divided Washington," adding the GOP should take the"wins" in the bill and move on to the"next fight," which should be the 2024 elections. When further pressed on how many votes there are in the House for the debt ceiling bill, McHenry conceded that"nothing's a done deal until the vote's closed" but that he believes they will get enough votes from both parties to pass the bill.
