SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee said he thinks President Joe Biden's offer to look at the GOP's proposed spending cuts, but only after they pass a condition-free debt limit increase, is disingenuous.
Lee said the House Republicans passed a "really good compromise" and that they are merely following the pattern then-Sen. Biden advocated for in the early 1980s, of tackling government spending and the debt limit at the same time.a bill to pass a debt limit increase without spending reforms, but it doesn't appear he has the votes to get it through the Senate.
Lee told Fox News he has a "growing list" of Republicans in the Senate who have signed on to his letter indicating they will not accept Biden's demands. As long as 41 senators back the House's negotiating position, Biden's preferred clean debt ceiling option appears dead.
