Dem. senators are scrambling to find a way to avert a potential debt default amid a standoff with Republicans — and privately discussing if it's possible to change Senate rules so the borrowing limit can be raised by a simple majority vote, sources say

Democratic senators are scrambling to find a way to avert a potential debt default as soon as next week amid a high-stakes standoff with Republicans -- and are privately discussing whether it's possible to change Senate rules so the borrowing limit can be raised by a simple majority vote, according to multiple sources at closed-door sessions.

One of the fiercest opponents to changing the filibuster rules, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, insisted on Tuesday that Congress wouldn't let the country default, though it's still highly uncertain if he and 49 other Democrats would vote to change the rules even temporarily. President Joe Biden called the prospect of Democrats adopting a carve out of the filibuster rules"a real possibility" on Tuesday.

Just do whatever it takes so veterans, disabled, and elderly don’t get hurt by this!

Screw the debt ceiling increase, let us default and then maybe then our so call legislators will see the damage they have done and will start doing their job and stop trying to keep it. They will see a tremendous public uprising

I’m about to start popping some popcorn to watch this show. This collapse has been a long time coming

Effort to raise debt limit resets after Senate GOP blocks weeks from defaultHouse Democrats are continuing efforts to raise the debt ceiling in order to avoid the U.S. from defaulting on the national debt. Trump & Trumplicans' aim is to sow the seed of doubt in people's minds so that they slowly begin to distrust almost everything & thru the distrust slowly create a state of chaos & confusion to divert the people's attention away from their intention to tear America apart. When Trump & his supporters only listen to the lies they tell themselves & one another & the lies are the ties that bind them then 'hitting bottom' & only then will they open their eyes to the lies they have told themselves & to others. Lies are their cunning baffling addiction. Strip away Trump's Talibanization of America!
