Marjorie Taylor Greene is finding herself in an increasingly isolated position on the Republican right after speaking favorably about the debt ceiling deal agreed upon between President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the final details of which were approved on Sunday.
The House Republican claimed the agreement would "clawback $400 MILLION" spent on overseas health aid, and endorsed a post from a conservative activist describing the deal as "a win for conservatives."
The agreement, which raises the $31.5 trillion debt limit for two years and cuts some federal spending, is designed to prevent a historic U.S. default on its debt in early June. Whilst firmly on the GOP right, Greene has been a strong McCarthy ally since she backed his bid to be House speaker in January, which a number of other conservatives tried to block.

...""The American people elected House Republicans to stop the out-of-control inflationary spending that has broken family budgets. Today, we secured a historic series of wins worthy of the American people," the statement read.
"We cut spending year-over-year for the first time in over a decade while fully funding national defense and veterans' health benefits, include the largest rescission in history by clawing back billions in unspent COVID funds, and achieve consequential work requirements to welfare programs to lift Americans out of poverty and grow the economy. We enact for the first time into law 'Pay-Go' rules for the Executive Branch, which forces the Executive Branch to find dollar-for-dollar savings in the government for costly rules and regulations so that executive overreach is reined in and held accountable.""
