That is a big get for Republicans. That\u2019s what we had in Limit, Save, Grow, and it\u2019s going to save $1.5 trillion over the course of the next ten years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During an interview with CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper on &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) expressed his excitement over the tentative debt ceiling agreement that Republicans have reached with Democrats. He called it a &#8220;big win&#8221; for the Republican Party, citing the significant cuts in non-defense and non-VA spending that will be made over the next ten years.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson also highlighted the establishment of caps at one percent for six years, which will help slow the growth of spending. When asked about criticisms that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) &#8220;gave up too much and could have gotten more,&#8221; Johnson defended the agreement, stating that the overwhelming majority of conservative members support it.<\/p>\n<h3>The Main Street Caucus Supports the Deal<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m the head of a group of 75 pragmatic conservatives called the Main Street Caucus,&#8221; Johnson explained. &#8220;And so when we say conservatives are against it, I want to make it clear I don\u2019t know a single one of the Main Street Caucus conservatives who isn\u2019t voting for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging that some members of the House Freedom Caucus might be against the agreement, Johnson emphasized that many will still vote for it. He dismissed criticisms from &#8220;the most colorful conservatives&#8221; who didn&#8217;t vote for the previous Republican wish list, Limit, Save, Grow, stating that the overwhelming majority of Republicans in the conference will support the deal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Placeholder for video embed code --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Key Takeaways:<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Republicans have reached a tentative debt ceiling agreement with Democrats.<\/li>\n<li>The agreement will cut non-defense and non-VA spending back to 2022 levels, saving $1.5 trillion over the next ten years.<\/li>\n<li>Caps at one percent will be established for six years to slow the growth of spending.<\/li>\n<li>The Main Street Caucus, a group of 75 pragmatic conservatives, supports the deal.<\/li>\n<li>While some members of the House Freedom Caucus might be against it, the overwhelming majority of Republicans in the conference will vote for the agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
