President Joe Biden says he believes he can raise the debt ceiling unilaterally under the 14th Amendment even without GOP support.

“I’m looking at the 14th Amendment as to whether or not we have the authority [to raise the debt ceiling without congressional backing]—I think we have the authority,” Biden said during a May 21 press conference at the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Hiroshima, Japan.
