GOP Warns of Fight Over Next Debt Limit Hike

Washington Post: “Conservative lawmakers, anticipating the GOP retaking one or both congressional majorities in next year’s midterm elections, are already calling for and strategizing around a coming fiscal clash in 2023, where they insist of using the threat of federal default to place new curbs on government spending and reduce the $28 trillion national debt.”

“What they are envisioning is, at a minimum, a return to the brinkmanship seen after the last time a Democratic president confronted a new Republican majority, in 2011. It already threatens to become the dominant domestic political clash ahead of the 2024 presidential election.”
