AOC says Biden should 'absolutely' consider bypassing the GOP to solve the debt ceiling crisis: 'It's a question of saving our economy from potential disaster'
reporters on Thursday that"I just believe where we were a week ago and where we are today is a much better place because we've got the right people in the room discussing it in a very professional manner.
"What is really important to understand here is that it really seems that no matter what, Kevin McCarthy, in the House is going to require, he needs Democrats to bail him out. This is not a situation of him holding all of the cards, and that is what makes the difference," Ocasio-Cortez said. "His party is not united, and not only is it not united by a little, we're hearing and we're really seeing that most of the evidence is pointing that he only has two-thirds of his caucus and he may need many, many Democratic votes," she continued."And so for that, it's really important to understand exactly how weak his hand he is here, and also, the options that President Biden and Democrats have, um, are frankly much broader than the ones that he has right now.
