Majority Leader Schumer Statement On The Debt Limit

Washington, D.C. – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement today on the debt limit:

“America pays its debts. Period. There should be no political brinkmanship with the debt limit. It’s reckless for Speaker McCarthy and MAGA Republicans to try and use the full faith and credit of the United States as a political bargaining chip. A default would be catastrophic for America’s working families and lead to higher costs.”
