Senate Minority Leader McConnell Monday said Republicans won't vote to raise the debt ceiling after Treasury Secretary Yellen called on Congress to pass the increase via regular order.
called on Congress to pass an increase to the limit via regular order, meaning at least 10 Senate Republicans would have to vote for it to break a filibuster.
The GOP leader said Democrats should"have total ownership" of their"socialist shopping list" and therefore raise the debt ceiling on their own using the budget reconciliation process that empowers them to do so without GOP votes.

The $3.5 trillion in spending would add to the $1.9 trillion spending bill Democrats passed earlier this year, the approximately $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill the Senate is about to pass and the several trillions in coronavirus relief the government doled out in 2020. "Of course, it’s our Senate Democratic colleagues who have no interest in what is historically normal," McConnell added."Their borrowing and spending are historically abnormal. Democrats keep boasting about how wild and revolutionary their partisan vision is."
Democrats did not include anything about raising the debt ceiling in their budget resolution, the text of which was released Monday. That resolution will allow them to use budget reconciliation to bypass Republicans. They can still include a debt ceiling increase in the reconciliation bill, however.
