Americans Divided on Debt Limit Deal: Polls Show Mixed Views on Spending Cuts

Rep. Pramila Jayapal clashed with CNN host Poppy Harlow over a recent poll showing that 60% of Americans believe Congress should only raise the debt ceiling if it comes with spending cuts. Jayapal suggested the poll's questioning might have been too vague and argued that tax cuts for the wealthiest are also spending. She also urged Republicans to raise the debt ceiling and criticized their attempts to use it as a hostage-taking move. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also warned of the catastrophic consequences of a default and urged Republicans to come to an agreement.
