McCarthy’s debt ceiling bill was not just a sellout; it was an act of political adultery. Today, I break down the details and the background of the deal in a way you will not hear elsewhere. I explain what went wrong with the messaging and how McCarthy turned the debt ceiling brinksmanship into a plague to be avoided rather than an opportunity. It is literally better to pass a short-term increase than this bill. It will make it impossible to fight Biden for the remainder of his presidency. I prove how the bill was a lot worse than what we would expect, even with a small minority. Let’s not forget that McCarthy supported Democrat budget bills throughout Trump’s presidency. Let’s also not forget that Trump pressured conservatives during the fight against McCarthy and severely degraded our leverage to remove him from office.
