#shorts On 5/9/2023, during press briefing, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “On matters of the economy, the public often holds the President accountable for the outcomes here. Does the President have a sense that he will be blamed by the American public if default actually occurs?

KJP: … to your question — I have an answer to your question — polling from 2011 and 2013 makes clear that congressional Republicans were to blame for their threats to default. And polling now shows Americans want spending and default handled separately, as does the President. That said, when it comes to threatening default, people should not be looking at polling.

On 5/9/2023, The White House laid out its views on the debt ceiling just hours before a crucial meeting on the matter. Biden insists the debt limit should be raised without addressing spending, while the House has passed a bill, the Limit, Save, Grow Act, which would raise the debt ceiling while cutting $4.8 trillion in deficits over the next 10 years. While the White House is calling on Congress to act, it has promised to veto the Limit, Save, Grow Act should it reach the president’s desk.
