Biden's Behavior at G7 Summit Raises Concerns About Priorities and Focus.

During a press conference at the G7 economic summit in Japan, President Biden told a reporter to "shush up" when they interrupted his response to a question about the debt ceiling crisis. Biden has been calling for bipartisan negotiations to raise the debt ceiling, while Republicans are holding back their support unless certain spending reductions are made. The Treasury Department warns that without a debt ceiling increase, the US government will no longer have the money to pay its spending obligations on around June 1, which could lead to a severe blow to the economy if not resolved.
