AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Senate Republicans are disavowing former President Trump’s call to let the federal government default on its debts unless President Biden agrees to “massive” spending cuts, dismissing Trump’s suggestion as something far too risky to seriously consider.
The cold reception to Trump’s bold statement is the latest sign of the widening rift between Trump and his party’s Washington establishment.
