DeSantis warns of US bankruptcy despite GOP debt deal.
TL;DR
Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) noted that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) voted to increase the debt ceiling while serving in the House. Johnson defended the bipartisan agreement reached by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and President Biden, which would suspend the debt ceiling for two years while adding new spending caps during that time. DeSantis criticized the deal, saying it would not be enough to get the country in a better spot. Johnson also pointed out that former President Trump signed measures into law to raise the debt ceiling without securing major concessions.
