oeshcome a conservative revolt inside a powerful house committee. white house press secretary karine jean pierre is standing by. in russia threats of revenge after eight drone attacks rock the city of moscow. ukraine denying any involvement while also calling the strikes, quote, carmic payment for putin s invasion. also tonight cnn speaks to an 11-year-old boy wrongfully shot by police. you ll hear his emotional recount of that terrifying moment and also have the details of the $5 million lawsuit his family just filed on his behalf. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. wolf blitzer is off today. i m alex marquardt, and you re in the situation room. we begin our coverage tonight with the debt limit drama playing out in the house of representatives. speaker kevin mccarthy appearing poised to clear the eighth major
hurdle in his first test as speaker as he tries to tamp down a conservative ruvolt over his compromise with president joe biden. from congress to the white house cnn s journalists are working their sources on this developing story. white house press secretary karine jean pierre also standing by. one hurdle almost down but there are still more hurdles to go. republican leadership did secure a big win in the house today when republican massie, a potential swing vote announced he will support the rule for the bill, which essentially means it will get a floor vote tomorrow, but they are not out of the woods yet because they still have to pass the underlying bill in both the house and senate, and there has been opposition from both the far left and the far right. so leadership in both parties have been working furiously to sell this deal, to whip this deal. republicans will have a house conference meeting later tonight
democratic colleagues, of course, of what s in the bill. but there are things here to be really proud of. there are pieces here to be really to be really proud we were able to do this for the pattern people. i talked about veterans affairs, i talked about defense, i talked about aka. i t health care. i talked about making sure we protect key programs like public safety, like education. all these things are so important to the american families. when people say who won coming out of this deal, it s the american people who won because, again, this is government coming together, both sides coming together, bringing forth a bepartisan reasonable agreement that we think will get out of the house, get out of the senate, and the president will sign it before june 5th. yeah, lots of work still ahead before june 5th. karine jean pierre, thank you for your time this evening. and just ahead we re tracking reports of a north korean missile launch. standby for more details.
what s put into place is the balancing act they needed trying to get members from both parties to get this across the finish line, but also very cognizant of the fact there s work to do and questions as this moves to the house floor and onto the senate is to answer those question and more than anything else prevent default, alex. work to do and only a few days to do it. now i want to bring in white house press secretary karine jean pierre. as you heard it does look like this bill is going to be advancing out of the house committee, but there is anger still towards speaker mccarthy even threats now to oust him from the speakership, so do you believe this deal is still in jeopardy? reporter: so, look, i m not going to get into the politics of what s happening on the other side of pennsylvania avenue with republicans. that s something i m not going to get into here. what i m going to talk through with you, alex, and thank you so
