Biden Rips McConnell on Debt Limit

President Biden warned Monday that the U.S. may default its debt for the first time in history if Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) continues to block Democratic attempts to raise the federal borrowing limit, The Hill reports.

Said Biden: “I cannot believe that will be the end result because the consequences are so dire. But can I guarantee it? If I could, I would. But I can’t.”
