In his first major test as Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy plans to hold a vote on the Limit, Save, Grow Act this week. The bill, which is not expected to receive support from the Senate or President Biden, would nevertheless be an important step to strengthen Republican's negotiating position over a final debt-ceiling increase.

McCarthy encountered difficulties securing the speakership and still faces challenges persuading the most conservative wing of his party to vote for the bill:

House GOP leaders are waving off calls from rank-and-file Republicans for changes to their debt-limit proposal. Instead, they’re plowing ahead toward a floor vote this week, daring detractors to vote against it.

At least, that’s what House Majority Whip Tom Emmer is asserting. Meanwhile, a handful of GOP members have told POLITICO they are still privately demanding changes to the bill and, without them, will lean toward voting “no” on the plan. And Republican leaders only have four votes to spare.
