US House Speaker McCarthy says he thinks an eventual debt limit bill needs to be on the floor next week, according to Punchbowl's Sherman “I just believe where we were a week ago and where we are today is a much better place because we've got the right people in the room discussing it in a very professional manner with all the knowledge and all the background from all the different leaders and what they want.” Other reports run comments saying "I can see now where a deal can come together". As well as comments that he is of the view that it is important to have an agreement in principle this weekend.
