Ocasio-Cortez Calls Out Lack of Support for McCarthy&#8217;s Debt Limit Plan<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"ArticlePage-articleBody-firstLetter\">R<\/span>ep. <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> (D-NY) isn&#8217;t buying House Speaker <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kevin-mccarthy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kevin McCarthy&#8217;s<\/a> claims that he has the support to advance his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/live-now-house-freedom-caucus-announces-plan-on-debt-limit-for-republicans\/\" title=\"LIVE NOW: House Freedom Caucus Announces Plan on Debt Limit for Republicans\">debt limit plan<\/a>. In fact, she&#8217;s flipping the script and claiming that he&#8217;s the one lacking support.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Limit, Save, Grow Act passing in a 217-215 vote last month, Ocasio-Cortez argues that the Republican party lacks the necessary support to pass a bill in the Senate. She boldly stated that McCarthy &#8220;doesn\u2019t have the votes in the House&#8221; and &#8220;doesn\u2019t even have the votes in *his own party.*&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/biden-student-loans-cancellation-in-limbo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BIDEN&#8217;S OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS: STUDENT LOANS CANCELLATION IN LIMBO<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to call out McCarthy, saying &#8220;Why would anyone act like Kevin McCarthy has votes right now? He hasn\u2019t done the work.&#8221; She also pointed out that he doesn&#8217;t have the votes for his current proposal in the Senate. <\/p>\n<h3>McCarthy Fires Back<\/h3>\n<p>Since passing the Limit, Save, Grow Act, McCarthy has been needling Democrats over their inability to secure passage of a stand-alone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-passes-defense-bill-moves-to-lift-debt-ceiling-after-bipartisan-agreement\/\" title=\"House Passes Defense Bill, Moves To Lift Debt Ceiling After Bipartisan Agreement\">debt limit hike<\/a> in the Senate. He tweeted on Tuesday, &#8220;A simple way for the Democrats to avoid default is to pass the Limit, Save, Grow Act in the Senate. With just 9 days left to go, Republicans remain the only ones in Washington who have actually done anything to lift the debt limit and avoid default.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For weeks, many analysts speculated that McCarthy couldn&#8217;t get his caucus to coalesce around a debt ceiling bill. However, he managed to achieve a breakthrough in late April. The bill would increase the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion or until March 24, 2024, whichever comes first, in exchange for spending cuts. Democrats have criticized the bill as a non-starter.<\/p>\n<h3>Ocasio-Cortez Urges Biden to Consider Invoking 14th Amendment<\/h3>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez has joined many progressives in urging the Biden administration to consider invoking the 14th Amendment, which some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-claims-mccarthy-doesnt-have-the-votes-for-debt-limit-deal-after-the-house-passed-a-bill\/\" title=\"AOC says McCarthy lacks votes for debt limit deal post House bill passage.\">legal analysts argue<\/a> could be used to scrap the debt ceiling. She has also warned that if the White House caves to GOP spending demands, there will be backlash. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a problem,&#8221; she told reporters. &#8220;We do not legislate through the debt ceiling for this very reason.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Treasury Secretary Yellen Projects Cash Shortage by June 1<\/h3>\n<p>Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has projected that the government has until June 1 before it will run out of the cash needed to meet all its obligations, amplifying concerns about a default. Debt limit negotiators met on Tuesday, but a breakthrough agreement doesn&#8217;t appear to be close. They are expected to continue negotiating throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
