Conservative lawmakers in the U.S. House are increasing pressure on Speaker McCarthy to take a hardline stance in debt limit negotiations. Texas Congressman Chip Roy wrote a letter to fellow Republicans urging them to demand McCarthy make raising the debt ceiling contingent on significant government spending cuts. He argued that the debt ceiling measure passed by the House last month is critical and should not be abandoned in pursuit of a deal. While a debt limit deal can pass the House without conservative support, angering them could put McCarthy at risk of losing his speakership. Roy has previously called the debt ceiling deadline a "manufactured crisis". McCarthy has not yet disclosed any compromise proposal he may have. In addition, some Democrats are willing to switch sides to keep McCarthy in his role as Speaker in the event of a debt limit deal.

美国众议院保守派议员一再加大对议长麦卡锡施加压力,希望他在债务上限谈判中采取强硬立场。代表德州的议员Chip Roy给其他共和党人写信,呼吁他们要求麦卡锡以政府大幅减支为条件,提高债务上限。他指出,上月众议院通过的债务上限议案至关重要,不应该在谈判中轻易放弃。虽然债务上限协议即使没有保守派议员支持,也能在众议院顺利通过,但是一旦得罪了他们,麦卡锡可能就会失去议长宝座。Roy曾称所谓债务大限日是“制造危机”。目前,麦卡锡还没有公开披露任何他提出的折中方案。此外,一些民主党议员甚至愿意倒戈一击,为了让麦卡锡保住议长大权,他们也会支持达成债务上限协议。
