Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell backed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday in the burgeoning standoff with President Biden over the federal debt limit.
Mr. McConnell, Kentucky Republican, said the White House should begin negotiations with Mr. McCarthy and that there was no path toward raising the debt limit without the House GOP.
Mr. McConnell’s comments came as House Republicans were readying to pass legislation to raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion until May 2024 in exchange for $4.8 trillion in spending cuts. “No brinkmanship, no hostage-taking,” said Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat. “Just a clean debt ceiling bill, that’s how it’s always been done.”
