Schumer, Pelosi Bash Republicans For Saying They Won’t Vote To Raise Debt Ceiling

On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) both spoke out against Republicans who claimed that they will not help Democrats raise the debt ceiling.

As the Democrats move toward passing their $3.5 trillion infrastructure package, with the hopes of getting it through the Senate using the budget reconciliation tool and only 51 votes, several Republicans said Tuesday that they will not vote to raise the debt ceiling.
