Freedom Caucus reveals list of demands in debt ceiling fight after Biden budget released

House Republicans in the Freedom Caucus are laying out a steep set of demands for negotiations to resolve the debt ceiling crisis, escalating tensions as GOP leaders and the White House struggle to find common ground on budget proposals.

The hard-line lawmakers released their list of demands during a press conference on Friday, targeting a number of Democratic-led proposals as being “wasteful” and overtly partisan. Their plan calls for spending cuts on an array of issues that, if met, would open the door for caucus members to “consider” raising the debt ceiling.
