This was a misleading characterization of statements McDaniel made during an interview with Fox News' Martha MacCallum.
McDaniel:and that's where I think Republicans should be paying attention — his low approval. This is not a president that the American people feel is doing a good job on their behalf.And then you look at this debt, debt ceiling crisis, you look at us about to default and you see that the president took 90 days out from negotiating. He refused to come to the table with Republicans.
Whether it's energy independence, whether it's fentanyl, whether it's a broken border, whether it's crime surging in our streets, this is a president that is failing the American people.The"that" in the final sentence above refers to the numbers McDaniel interprets as indicating that"vast majority of Americans feel like we're not heading in the right track," not a direct suggestion that a default on the debt would benefit Republicans.
The interview came amid ongoing negotiations to raise the U.S. debt limit. On May 1, 2023, Treasury Secretary Janet Yelin suggested that the U.S unable to meet its payment obligations"as early as June 1" unless a resolution to raise this congressionally mandated spending limit was passed.
