The House Freedom Caucus assembled for a presser on Tuesday, where Rep. Chip Roy said: "Not one Republican should vote for this deal. It is a bad deal. No one sent us here to borrow an additional 4 trillion dollars to get absolutely nothing in return," adding "There will be a reckoning about what just occurred unless we stop this bill."
The Freedom Caucus has left open the possibility of filing a motion to vacate McCarthy's chair if he pushes the deal through.
McCarthy reached the deal with Biden on Saturday night, claiming that the deal had the largest spending cuts for the IRS in the history of the nation, per the DC Enquirer.
With a US default projected for Monday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has precious little time to convince several GOP holdouts to come around and vote for a debt ceiling deal that's been widely panned by several conservatives.
House Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry is holding a press conference today too.
12:00ET - The conservative hard-liners in the House Freedom Caucus will hold a news conference outside the Capitol to rally opposition to the deal.
19:30ET - House Republican leaders will host a closed-door conference meeting, where they will discuss the debt deal.
