If this is really a deal it’s only a WH-Senate deal is my guess

So you dont have to go to link, this is the entire article :

ABC News has learned that Republicans and the White House have struck a tenative deal to raise the debt ceiling before the Aug. 2 deadline. It’s not done yet, but here is the framework of the tentative deal they have worked out, according to a source familiar with the negotiations:

•Debt ceiling increase of up to $2.8 trillion
•Spending cuts of roughly $1 trillion
•Vote on the Balanced Budget Amendment
•Special committee to recommend cuts of $1.8 trillion (or whatever it takes to add up to the total of the debt ceiling increase)
•Committee must make recommendations before Thanksgiving recess
•If Congress does not approve those cuts by late December, automatic across-the-board cuts go into effect, including cuts to Defense and Medicare.

A senior White House aide pushed back against the idea that a deal was struck.

“Talks continue, but there is no deal to report,” the aide said.

Is this a JOKE??

Fox News reporting that negotiations involve the nature of the triggers if Special Committee does not produce list of $1.8 trilion in cuts. Pubs want automatic across the board cuts as the trigger. I guess the dims just want it to be window dressing.
