Growing rift as GOP senators disavow Trump's debt ceiling plan.

Senate Republicans are rejecting former President Trump's call to let the federal government default on its debts unless President Biden agrees to "massive" spending cuts, dismissing Trump's suggestion as too risky. The cold reception to Trump's bold statement is the latest sign of the widening rift between Trump and his party's Washington establishment. While Trump maintains strong influence in the House, it's a different story in the Senate, where GOP senators largely ignored Trump's participation in a CNN's town hall Wednesday and later dismissed the former president's claim that failing to raise the debt ceiling by next month's deadline might not be a big deal.
