House Speaker Kevin McCarthy defended his budget deal with President Biden against conservative critics on Sunday.

McCarthy, R-Calif., faced attacks from members of the House Freedom Caucus after unveiling an "agreement in principle" with the White House this weekend. The speaker acknowledged that conservatives may not have gotten everything they wanted from the legislation, but argued Democrats got nothing at all.

"Maybe it doesn't do everything for everyone, but this is a step in the right direction that no one thought that we would be able to today," McCarthy told "Fox News Sunday," going on to tout that his legislation cuts all funding increases for the IRS in 2023.
