Warren backs Trump call to scrap debt limit, blasts GOP tax bill
- Senator Elizabeth Warren publicly supported President Donald Trump’s call on May 31, 2025, to eliminate the U.S. Debt limit permanently to prevent economic risk.
- This position follows the debt limit’s last suspension in summer 2023 through a bipartisan bill between Republican and Biden leadership, which deferred default risk until January 2025.
- Warren criticized a GOP tax bill tied to a $4 trillion debt ceiling increase, calling it an outrage to fund more billionaire tax breaks while urging bipartisan action to scrap the debt limit.
- Warren’s post on X quoted Trump's statement that eliminating the debt limit avoids catastrophic effects, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Congress to raise the ceiling by mid-July to avert default.
- Failure to suspend or raise the debt limit risks financial system disruption and weakens America’s security, emphasizing urgency amid ongoing partisan debates on tax and debt policies.
