Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary, and Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, talk with Alex Wagner about what was accomplished by both parties as the House passes the debt ceiling bill, sending it to the Senate, and what President Biden might do to avoid having to deal with a Republican debt ceiling stunt in a potential second term.

As long as it's not the GOP compromising to democrats demands.
I hate our countries "leaders" just do something right for once please…
This comment section proves Biden supporters have the smoothest brains on the planet ????????????
How many times do you knuckleheads need to see this legislative distraction occur before you finally figure it out?
Apparently, it is REALLY easy to fool you.
You always get fooled into believing that we need to issue our government more of OUR MONEY to blow on worthless BS that has nothing to do with your own personal life.
"Debt ceiling"
Do you understand that?
They're raising the credit card limit.
We don't have THAT money.
It's fake money.
This is why they no longer teach economics and civics in high school.
It is so they can fool you into believing that They're working for you.
They're not.
They're stealing our money from us.
Why my family can't vote Republican.
In wasteful spending report, there was a whopping $482,276,543,907 of waste in 2022.
How do you think the over half a million homeless Americans would feel about our spending $2,100,000 to encourage Ethiopians to wear shoes (NIH)? $50,000,000 to boost the Tunisia travel sector during COVID-19 (USAID)? $1,700,000,000 to maintain 77,000 empty Federal buildings (GSA)? Or, how about the $17,000,000 spent on unused hotel rooms for illegal immigrants (DHS) and the $168,000,000 spent to help illegal immigrants avoid deportation (DHS)?
I’m not homeless, but it makes me furious!
What do you think the millions of food-insecure would think about our spending $210,069,000 on basic education projects in Jordan (USAID); $3,000,000 to construct a Gandhi museum, or $1,100,000 for training mice to binge drink alcohol (NIH)?
Who cares who got what, I t prevented a crisis, now they need to fix this . We need to applaud Kevin McCarthy.
I want the names of the 117 legislators who voted against America's debt ceiling. How do I get those names?
Brick on the head of the Crazies
And USA can still give Ukraine over 300 Hundred Million Dollars with our country delinquent on it own America Citizens. Insane
Its a shame it passed. I was hoping our elected officials would actually solve our country's debt issue instead of postponing it. I can't perpetually raise my CC limits or wait to service that debt properly for years. Im 25 and dont care about your social spending or military spending.
Lol they have some explaining to do. To their base anyway. They kept saying this bill is ridiculous but they pass it.
And NO they are not heros
Blue = civilization
Red = barbarians
the choice, is clear.
Catastrophy such ????????
So surprised the snakes voted to keep themselves in control LOL ????
Welfare will still get their checks, yay!!
Both the military industrial complex and the oligarchs were spared from being responsible citizens.
Biden = capitulation to terrorists.
why do deplorables claim to be economically responsible?
Thinking maybe some of the republican party is waking up to reality. You are allowing the MAGAs to take down this country. People are going against your party. You are not for the people and Americans are becoming aware. Where will that leave you?
It's funny how democrats and Republicans can't agree on anything or pass any policies until it involves them getting paid and then magically they agree. Wow, if your on either side your a sheep to the wolves
Like any career politicians are going to cut off a paycheck to themselves ???? our government couldn't balance a household budget.
Ah, Circles is back!????
Big Oil won. Good thing Climate Change is no big deal ????.
The fact that the debt limit became negotiable makes any of the details irrelevant; the ultra-right is now empowered with holding virtually any bill or process as hostage. This is a disastrous blow to the democratic process.
There is funding to make digital filing easier. How can anyone not support that?
Political theater and 2 trillion in pork good job
No votes are cowards
The democrats have sold out again. They never fight for the people.
