House Republicans passed their debt limit bill with no Democratic support in a Wednesday evening vote last week, but Schumer has said it is 'dead on arrival' in the Senate.
Senate Budget Committee member Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., says negotiations between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden should have happened before the bill’s passage.
He said the Senate Budget Committee would start with a Thursday hearing on the GOP bill, and encouraged Democrast to"make clear how devastating this proposal truly is to your constituents through public events and press." "Last week, House Republicans sent a hard-right ransom note to the American people. The Republicans’ Default on America Act offers two choices: eitheror default on America, forcing steep cuts to law enforcement, veterans, families, teachers and kids. Democrats will not allow it. Put plainly, Republican’s Default on America Act pushes us closer to default," the New York lawmaker wrote.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy talks to reporters just after the Republican majority in the House narrowly passed a sweeping debt ceiling package, at the Capitol, Wednesday, April 26, 2023.
