Democrats, GOP trade barbs over who Americans should blame for a debt crisis: 'It's pretty obvious'
Fox News
Democrats and Republicans sounded off about who would be in the hot seat if a deal isn't struck on the debt limit in time to avoid economic blowback
Democrats, meanwhile, accused House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his conference of holding the debt limit "hostage" and pointed out that it was Congress’ constitutional obligation to act on the debt ceiling, rather than Biden’s. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
"President Biden waited 97 days to speak with Kevin McCarthy about this debt ceiling stuff, so if anything untoward happens, this is 100% the Biden-Schumer shutdown," said Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Asked if he believes Americans would feel the same way, he added, "I think if more media outlets report it honestly like you’re doing, they would, if they’re told the truth."
