Senator McConnell Signals Possible Time Agreement If Democrats Raise Debt Limit Through Reconciliation

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell urges Democrats to raise the debt limit through the budget reconciliation process, insisting they have enough time to do so ahead of the October 18 default deadline. He says Republicans would be open to "time agreements" if Democrats were to go the reconciliation route and thus avoid a protracted process on the Senate floor in the coming days. close
