Democrats insist they won’t back down on debt ceiling
| Senate Democrats on Tuesday insisted they would not back down to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a high-stakes standoff over the federal debt limit.
With just days to go before a potential debt default, which would be the first in U.S. history, Democrats emerged from a luncheon strategy meeting saying there was no way they’d use the lengthy budget reconciliation process to raise the debt ceiling. |
