But Scott’s criticism echoed that of several other White House hopefuls, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley. Former vice president Mike Pence, who has yet to formally announce a 2024 presidential bid, has also come out against the deal, calling it too timid. “If they don’t, … you’ll have to default,” Trump said. He suggested the consequences of a default could lead to “a bad week or a bad day.”
“Republicans should not make a deal on the debt ceiling unless they get everything they want,” Trump wrote. “Do not fold!!!”
