President Biden delivered remarks and answered questions on the debt ceiling. He said of Republicans, "I think, quite frankly, it's hypocritical dangerous, and disgraceful. Their obstruction and irresponsibility knows absolutely no bounds, especially as we're clawing our way out of this pandemic."
Later, on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer remarked, "We will need to get a bill extending the debt ceiling to the president's desk by the end of this week. We aren't asking Republicans to vote for yes, even though it's debt that they incurred, we are simply asking that they get out of the way."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, ""The majority needs to stop sleepwalking toward yet another preventable crisis. Democrats need to tackle the debt limit. We gave them a roadmap and three months notice. I suggest that our colleagues get moving."
