Here are the House Republicans who said they will vote against debt ceiling bill

House GOP leaders are racing to secure support for the debt ceiling deal that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) struck with President Biden as they face growing criticism from Republicans.
The bill needs a simple majority to clear the House and head to the Senate, and many Democrats are expected to support the measure, helping it to get across the finish line in a slim GOP majority.
But Republican leaders face political pressure to have as many Republican votes as possible in favor of the legislation — preferably having more Republicans vote for the bill than Democrats. Anything less than a majority of the 222 House Republicans voting for the bill would be politically devastating for GOP leadership.
Republicans are already announcing their intent to oppose the bill ahead of Wednesday’s high-profile vote, ranging from hardline conservative members of the House Freedom Caucus — like Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) — to a freshman member who was a top recruit for Republican leadership in the 2022 election cycle, Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas).
Here are the House Republicans who say they will vote against the bill.
