Trump Criticizes McCarthy Over June Debt Ceiling Extension, Calls It One of the Dumbest Political Decisions
Dec 29, 2024, 11:12 PM
Former President Donald Trump criticized ex-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy for extending the debt ceiling during the Biden Administration, stating that the decision will be remembered as one of the 'dumbest political decisions made in years.' Trump expressed that this extension pushed the debt ceiling fight into his administration, which he believes was a miscalculation on McCarthy's part. Trump's remarks come as he prepares to address the implications of this decision, particularly as the current Speaker, Mike Johnson, faces the fallout from McCarthy's actions. Trump's comments reflect ongoing tensions within the GOP regarding leadership decisions and fiscal strategy.
