Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer defended his plans to have committees hold hearings on the debt ceiling bill passed last week by the House, denying it gives Republicans the ability to “emphasize their argument."
The Senate Budget Committee, led by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse , will hold a hearing on Thursday on the proposal. The House narrowly passed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s debt ceiling bill last Wednesday along party lines with a 217-215 vote, with just four Republicans voting against the measure. The bill comes after Republicans, for months, tried and failed to unite around a specific budget blueprint that would detail spending cuts they want in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. But instead of a budget, Republicans unveiled the Limit, Save, Grow Act.
