Trump criticized the decision by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy to extend the debt ceiling to June, calling it “one of the dumbest political decisions made in years.”
“NOTHING WAS GAINED, and we got nothing for it – A major reason why that Speakership was lost.”
“The Democrats must be forced to take a vote on this treacherous issue NOW”
Opinion: Lawmakers will elect a new speaker on Friday, Jan 3rd, and we are projected to hit our debt limit within just a few weeks. Trump is publicly pushing for strong leadership from the House. I think Mike Johnson is the right guy for the job.
