Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has called on Republican and Democrat lawmakers to work together and resolve the debt crisis facing the United States, pointing out that both Trump and Biden have contributed to ballooning the country’s debt.
America’s debt has hit the $31.4 trillion ceiling and it now needs to be raised, which requires lawmakers from both parties to negotiate a deal. However, Democrats and Republicans have been at an impasse, a situation Manchin criticized in his speech at the Senate chamber on March 2.
