After temporarily saving the U.S. from defaulting on its debts, Democratic sources say there is no plan for avoiding a messier debt-limit fight in December — and Sen. McConnell insists he won't help again.
as low as 38 percent this week — Republican leaders chose not to risk getting blamed for a default now. They calculate that Democrats are more likely to take the hit if it happens at the same time they are in the process of spending money later in the year.
The politics of the debt-limit fight revolve around who is to blame — both for the debt itself and for the need to raise the limit. Republicans would like for Democrats to bear the entire burden of increasing the cap, and Democrats would like to continue to be able to point both to Trump's role in creating the need and Republicans' complicity in fulfilling it.
In addition to preventing a default, they bought themselves a legislative breather from two weeks of talk about the debt. That will allow them to turn back to their internal fight over the size and scope of Biden's"Build Back Better" agenda. At least for the time-being, they also avoided a string of politically difficult votes on amendments to a debt-limit bill. But if they are forced to rewrite their budget to raise the debt limit again, Democrats will likely have to hold those votes anyway. And when they return to the debt limit, Democratic leaders will be juggling a series of other must-do legislative priorities.
