Some GOP lawmakers aren't quite ready to take Medicare and Social Security out of the debt limit battle — even after Kevin McCarthy said the matter is 'off the table'

• Kevin McCarthy previously said cuts to Medicare and Social Security are out of debt ceiling negotiations.
• But some House Republicans are eyeing creating panels to evaluate those programs in a debt limit deal, per Bloomberg.
• McCarthy and Biden met last week to discuss raising the debt limit, and Biden maintains it should be bipartisan.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy doesn't want cuts to Medicare and Social Security to be included in debt limit negotiations. But it looks like his own party isn't quite on board with that plan.
