210 Democrats endorse plan to sidestep House GOP in debt limit fight
Fox News
At the direction of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, 210 House Democrats have signed a discharge petition in the hopes of forcing a vote on a debt ceiling increase.
As of Thursday afternoon, 210 House Democrats had signed the discharge petition in the hopes of forcing a vote on a debt ceiling increase. The three Democrats who have not yet put their names to it are Reps. Mary Peltola of Alaska, Ed Case of Hawaii and Jared Golden of Maine. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Republicans have rejected the idea of a clean debt ceiling increase without preconditions. They passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act, which would lift the borrowing limit by $1.5 trillion while also rolling back key Biden administration initiatives and cutting the federal government’s discretionary levels back to what they were in 2022.
