by Ben Whitehead Daily Wire

Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s role is “absolutely safe” despite some Republican pushback over his deal with President Joe Biden over the debt ceiling, according to Rep. Garret Graves (R-LA).

Graves, who helped lead the negotiations, appeared Sunday on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” with host Margaret Brennan and touted the deal as a “huge accomplishment.” When pressed on comments by Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) criticizing McCarthy, Graves said the speaker is in the clear.
