Scalise Accusing Biden Of Running Out The Clock On Debt Ceiling

(New Orleans, LA) — The House Majority Leader says President Biden is trying to “run out the clock” on the debt ceiling. Speaking on ABC This Week, Louisiana Republican Steve Scalise said Biden is creating a “debt crisis” by not meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Scalise added that the President needs to start negotiating with McCarthy now and not wait until the “midnight hour.” The U.S. is at risk of defaulting by June if the debt ceiling isn’t raised. The House-passed GOP bill includes many spending cuts, while the White House wants a “clean” debt ceiling bill.
