Democrats continue to vent over how they have been forced to negotiate with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on a potential debt ceiling deal after months of saying they would not consider discussing such a compromise.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said that he regrets that Democrats did not raise the debt ceiling during the lame-duck session in 2022 before Republicans formally took back the House in January.
“If I could do one thing different. And I was saying it at the time … ‘Hey, we got the votes,’” Kaine remarked, saying he believes that even the purportedly fiscal hawk Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) would have backed a debt ceiling hike.
A Politico report follows as Republican leadership has said they are “pressing pause” on debt limit talks with Biden.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), a vocal progressive, called on Biden to pull out of the negotiations. He said, “Why are we negotiating? It’s just very frustrating that we have backed ourselves into this corner.”
Rep. Lou Correa (D-CA), a moderate Democrat, said, “The negotiations started when we lost the House.”
Dirty Democrat Party is RESPONSIBLE for ALL the DEBT & it is TREASON !!!! Tell CHINA PAID IN FULL !!!!

Given the wholesale cheating program Democrats have in place that they’re continuously “improving” upon, it’s a near miracle that they don’t OWN the House in perpetuity.
