According to Odaily, Republicans in the United States are expressing concerns over the difficulty of passing new policies on border, energy, and taxation through the budget reconciliation process. This complexity is heightened by House Speaker Johnson's promise to the incoming President Trump in December to use the reconciliation bill to raise the debt ceiling. Conservatives generally oppose increasing the debt ceiling and demand significant spending cuts in exchange for their support. When questioned about the potential delay of the plan and the risk it poses to the national credit rating, Johnson stated in a brief interview on Tuesday that he remains committed to the measure and optimistic about the timeline. He assured that the debt ceiling issue would be addressed before the June deadline, referring to the preliminary estimate of when the U.S. might face a default risk if Congress does not act.
