GOP Lawmaker Will Never Vote to Raise Debt Limit

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) told Semafor that he doesn’t see a circumstance in which he casts a vote to lift the U.S. debt limit in order to reauthorize the federal government’s ability to pay its bills.

He’s opposed raising it since first elected to the House in 2018.

Said Burchett: “I’ve made commitments and I’ve run on fiscal responsibility. I didn’t fold the last time under Trump and I don’t expect to fold under Biden.”
