U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) sat down with Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday and once again affirmed his support for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) was one of three of Alabama’s congressional delegation to vote against raising the national debt limit, but he said the bill was not all bad for Republicans.
The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed legislation to raise the national debt limit into 2025 following the bill’s approval in the House a day prior. Both of Alabama’s U.S. senators, Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) voted against the bill, which now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.
On Wednesday, 149 U.S. House Republicans joined 165 House Democrats in voting 314-117 to the Fiscal Responsibility Act to raise the national debt ceiling for two years and avoid a default on money borrowed.
Tuberville called the bill a "terrible deal," while Aderholt, though not happy with the final bill, highlighted some of its positives.
Our government spends much more than it has or will collect, and to pay our bills, we must find somewhere to get the needed extra money.
Nobody wants to default on the U.S. debt. The repercussions would be devastating for all Americans. However, out of control government growth and borrowing against future generations must stop.
During an appearance on Fox Business’ "Kudlow," U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) predicted that former President Donald Trump would win the presidential election in 2024.
“[S]ome members of Congress won’t really focus on trying to cut spending unless they’re really pushed to the wall,” Aderholt said.
U.S. Congressman Dale Strong said Congress needs to work on a solution to the debt limit, one that cuts spending nationwide.
The federal government expects to reach the statutory debt limit this Thursday, setting up another high-profile political showdown in Washington. But what does that mean for the nation, and how might it impact Alabamians?
