of course there would be absolutely no need to get a single democratic vote if the republicans could get all of their members to vote for an increase in the debt ceiling. the only reason paul ryan needs nancy pelosi s votes to pass a debt ceiling increase in the house is that paul ryan s own republican members always play politics with the debt ceiling, always. after the meeting, mitch mcconnell made it clear he had nothing to do with this deal. it s the president and the senate and the house domestic leadership agreed to a three-month continuing resolution and a debt ceiling into december. i will be adding that as an amendment to the flood relief bill that s come over from the house on the floor, and i ll be supporting it. and that, that was mitch
debt ceiling increase in the house is that paul ryan s own republican members always play politics with the debt ceiling, always. after the meeting, mitch mcconnell made it clear he had nothing to do with this deal. it s the president and the senate and the house domestic leadership agreed to a three-month continuing resolution and a debt ceiling into december. i will be adding that as an amendment to the flood relief bill that s come over from the house on the floor, and i ll be supporting it. and that, that was mitch mcconnell s formal public surrender today to chuck schumer in the senate. and the most ignorant man in the oval office when the deal was made today had this to say.
sources told cnn the president also blindsided gop leaders as they huddled with their democratic counterparts and mr. trump at the white house. the president shocked republicans, supporting the democrats plan to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a government shutdown, pushing that deadline to december. the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell indicated afterward that he was on board. i will be adding that to an amendment of the flood relief bill that s come over from the house on the floor, and i ll be supporting it. reporter: republicans sounded so irritated by the meeting, one vented about ivanka trump interrupting the gathering. at one point ivanka trump entered the oval office to say hello and the meeting careened off topic. republican leaders were visibly upset by the interruption. some say that wasn t true. she actually said, daddy can i go with you? i said, yes, you can.
racing of the debt ceiling and a three month continuation resolution to continue to fund the government. republicans wanted those second two items to go on much longer, ideally past the midterms. but the president ended upsiding with democrats. and when you listen to mitch mcconnell talk about this earlier today, it s pretty clear how he describes who the real parties were in this deal. just take a listen. well, good afternoon, everyone. as i think you now know in a meeting down at the white house the president and the senate and house democratic leadership agreed to a three-month continuing resolution and a debt ceiling in to december. i will be adding that as an amendment to the flood relief bill that s come over from the house on the floor, and i ll be supporting it. so i will be supporting it.
