CNN —House Speaker Kevin McCarthy helped secure a debt limit deal – now he has to secure its passage in the House, with little room for error and a looming threat to his speakership.
In a win for McCarthy, a key Republican said he expects to support a rule to set parameters for debate.
The powerful House Rules Committee must still vote to adopt the rule, but with that anticipated support, it is now on track to do so — a hurdle that must be cleared before the bill can come to the House floor for a final vote.
If he did not support the rule, the debt limit bill may have been unable to advance to the House floor.
Roy and Norman have both emerged as leading critics of the bipartisan debt limit bill.
