One major reason the White House is confident in its position is that there have been numerous clean debt ceiling hikes in recent years, INCLUDING WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT AND REPUBLICANS CONTROLLED CONGRESS. (emphasis mine).
Congress has voted to increase the debt limit more than a dozen times in the last 25 years — including THREE TIMES during the Trump administration.

The 'Responsible' party is not the GOP...wake up to reality.
And far less for Osama doubling it to 20T.
Thank God for Joe Biden and the Democrats.
