A failure by Congress to deal with its self-imposed debt ceiling before June 5 could trigger a default that would shake financial markets and send the United States into a deep recession. Hours before the deal was announced, some hardline Republicans balked at McCarthy cooperating with the White House. Progressive Democrats in both chambers have said they would not support any deal that has additional work requirements. This deal does, sources say, adding work requirements to food aid for people aged 50 to 54. But Republicans and Democrats will need to battle over which ones in the months to come, as the deal doesn't specify them.
