McConnell Vows No GOP Votes for Debt Ceiling Raise

Politico: “Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell promised Thursday that Republicans will not support a debt ceiling hike, just as Democrats have signaled they plan to take a path that would require Republican support.”

“Notably, McConnell did not mention the possibility of GOP cooperation when it comes to a debt ceiling suspension — a much more palatable strategy deployed by both parties in recent years that essentially pauses the issue until a later date. Two years ago, Republicans and Democrats struck a budget deal with former President Donald Trump’s administration that suspended the debt limit until July of this year.”
