President Joe Biden's New York fundraising trip is bringing attention to vulnerable congressional Republicans this week as the debt ceiling deadline nears.

His visit is slated for Wednesday, the day after his long-awaited meeting with congressional leaders to discuss the debt limit, and it will take place in Rep. Mike Lawler's congressional district. Lawler was one of four key Republican New York pickups in the 2022 midterm elections, and he has backed the GOP's Limit, Save, Grow Act.

His victory was a major breakthrough for Republicans in a traditionally Democratic stronghold state and came against the backdrop of redistricting upheaval. The Democrats have since been gearing up to reclaim his district and other lost seats via redistricting court battles and various campaigns. Like Lawler, New York congressional Republicans have backed the party's debt limit plan, which calls for a suite of spending rollbacks such as a return to fiscal 2022 levels for most discretionary spending measures outside of the military, a cap on most spending increases to about 1% annually, scrapping Biden's student loan forgiveness bill, curtailing several green energy tax credits, and more.
