From the USA today article you posted:
“Can you guarantee as a leader in the United States Congress, that the United States of America will not default on its debts?” CNN host Dana Bash asked Emmer on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I can, assuming that our president and the Schumer senate recognize the gravity of the problem. This is no longer about politics,” Emmer responded, referring to President Joe Biden and congressional Democratic leaders’ refusal to entertain budget cuts tied to a debt ceiling proposal.
