Lawmakers divided over debt ceiling
Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram has the latest on the congressional battle over the debt ceiling on “Special Report with Bret Baier.”
Republican senators had a message for President Joe Biden while addressing the national debt and quickly approaching debt ceiling deadline during a Wednesday press conference: He “will negotiate.”
“President Biden needs to know, absolutely he will negotiate, and it’s better to start now,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told reporters, pushing back on the Biden administration’s stance that the talks surrounding the debt ceiling are “not a negotiation.”
Paul added that the greatest security threat to the nation is the debt and that no conservatives and no Republicans in the House of Representatives will vote to raise the debt ceiling “without significant budget reform.”
