Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s debt limit bill is not going over well in the Senate as Sen. Chris Murphy unloaded on the Republican House leader.
Murphy tweeted in response to another McCarthy effort to pass the debt limit buck to Biden:
Democrats aren’t going to go for McCarthy’s plan. If Republicans can get his bill out of the House next week, it will immediately die in the Senate.
