Former President Donald Trump said that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) “should be impeached” if he backs a Democrat-led effort to eliminate the debt ceiling.

The Democrat push comes amid fears by the majority party that Republicans could use the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip if they take the House, as observers expect. However, the effort to eliminate the debt ceiling could only advance with GOP support in the Senate.
