Key Moderate Wants Budget Cuts to Hike Debt Ceiling

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), a key moderate in the House, told the Washington Post that he’s open to a discharge petition to force a debt ceiling increase to the House floor — but not a clean increase.

Said Bacon: “We’re willing to do a discharge petition if there’s a good-faith effort by Biden to compromise and to come up with a good solution.”
