House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) claimed that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is having an outsize influence over President Joe Biden during debt ceiling negotiations.
The house speaker doubled down on comments he made yesterday when he alleged that Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a"real effect" on Biden in debt ceiling negotiations. In an appearance on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures, McCarthy pointed to a press conference from Sanders as the definitive moment when negotiations on the debt ceiling reversed.
"Yesterday, Senators stood together to urge President Biden not to cave to Republican demands to make cuts that would cause incalculable harm to the American people. Instead, we believe he should prepare to use the 14th Amendment," Sanders said. — Bernie Sanders May 19, 2023 The house speaker repeated his sentiment at the Capitol on Sunday while speaking with reporters.
