Reps Central To Debt Limit Crisis - Most Conservative And Least Experienced

HomepagePolitical Market NewsPolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income NewsForeign Exchange News

The Pew Research Center has released a report showing that members of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) are amongst the most conservative lawmakers in the House of Representatives.

  • Members of the HFC are at the center of a showdown with Democrats over raising the federal government debt ceiling with 20 or so HFC members granted considerable power by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to unlock his bid to become speaker.
  • Much of the political uncertainty around the debt ceiling standoff concerns how far conservative Republicans will be willing to push negotiations in order to extract concessions on spending.
  • The report shows that not only are HFC Reps the most conservative, they are also amongst the least experienced in Congress with 71% of members serving six or fewer years in Congress.
  • This ideological positioning and lack of congressional experience may increase the risk of miscalculation in negotiations.
