The new proposal, according to Republicans, would extend funding at current levels through mid-March, provide disaster assistance for hurricane-battered states and suspend the debt limit through January 2027. It remains unclear if the plan has enough support to pass the narrowly divided House chamber.

On Thursday morning, Trump told NBC News that Congress should “get rid of” the so-called debt ceiling – a limit on what the US treasury can borrow to pay its bills – a proposal that has traditionally won more support from Democrats than Republicans.

    lol. Trump was -just- influencing debt ceiling obstruction while he was campaigning. But now that the democrats are finally talking about leveraging the GOP’s obstruction playbook, now he hates it.

    Everything they claim to hate, they do.
