American media: Republicans are beginning to consider raising the debt ceiling again as the mid-term elections approach

On 30 July, according to Politico, the United States Republicans raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion last year. Today, they are already considering how to avoid falling back into the “fiscal cliff” once again during the Trump mandate. Independent predictors expect the United States to meet “X days” — the final cut-off date to avoid US debt default — between the summer of next year and the beginning of 2028, at a time when the presidential primaries are beginning to get hot. According to two sources, in order to avoid high-risk negotiations with the Democrats, White House officials privately proposed an increase in the US debt ceiling of $41.1 trillion in the party-based spending programme that many Republicans wanted to adopt before the mid-November elections. If the Republican party loses control of either house in the upcoming mid-term elections, this initiative may cause some trouble in Trump, because, in any case, the Democrats will ask for concessions in bipartisan negotiations to avoid unprecedented national debt default – which now totals nearly $39.7 trillion。
