House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) suggested Democrats will not be a party to raising the debt limit as part of a spending bill.
Said Jeffries: “GOP extremists want House Democrats to raise the debt ceiling so that House Republicans can lower the amount of your Social Security check. Hard pass.
”Politico: “Jeffries’ statement — pointedly not posted on Elon Musk’s X — comes as Republicans are floating the idea for a new stopgap measure to fund the government that would include disaster aid and raising the debt ceiling.”
“And behind closed doors, leaders projected unity and urged the caucus to hold the line.”
