The Biden line on the debt limit can now be summed up by: It’s not my responsibility.
First, Biden absurdly insisted he was “blameless” after obstructing commonsense, widely-supported proposals for 100 days. Now, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has essentially insisted that they have no regrets over refusing to negotiate for months, claiming Republicans need “to do their job.”

House Republicans have done their job! They passed a plan that raises the debt ceiling while reining in spending – a position 60% of Americans support.
Biden’s 50-year D.C. political career is showing – he only cares about deflecting blame, not helping the American people. Americans deserve better.
