A number of Senate Republicans are rejecting the idea of lifting the debt ceiling temporarily, in order to buy Congress time to negotiate a larger measure with the White House that would prevent a default.
Several GOP lawmakers said that pushing back the deadline will only shift negotiations into the future because Washington is known for addressing these crises at the last minute.
"We’ve been kicking the can down the road for four and a half years since I’ve been here," said Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind."We need to at least agree to something without delaying it." Senate Democratic leaders are keen on sticking to the White House's demand to pass a clean debt ceiling increase.
