A U.S. senator told Breitbart News on Wednesday evening that President-elect Donald Trump’s push to have the debt ceiling increased as part of a government funding deal this week “makes sense” from Trump’s perspective but warned it is unlikely Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer would agree to such a push.
The senator, who asked for anonymity to discuss the very fluid situation on Capitol Hill just days before a government funding deadline on Friday, said Schumer only has one real piece of “leverage” over Trump next year, and that leverage is the debt ceiling deadline.

For the rest of his days.
Trump is not the POTUS. He had no right to request. He spoke up to complain about the damage to USA in the proposed bill. Like any patriot who read the bill can see it stinks to high heaven.
It is a very weak move to request when you have no right or leverage.
Schumer and McConnell are the Siamese twin in charge of the Senate. Like the Senators of Rome, they now think they run the Republic. They just screwed up killing Caesar.
never trust a scumbag who is pictured BBQing raw hamburgers with a slice of chees on top. Despicable human
And, as long as these schmucks continue always looking for leverage rather than looking out for the American People, we will continue to have the cesspool that is DC.
Funny how just a couple months ago everybody here was adamant against raising the debt ceiling now many of the same people are clamoring to raise it. It is hypocrisy and we are embarrassingly no different than liberals. The 180 degree turn around here and in Congress is astounding.
Chuck already broke the deal over the unretiring Judges. He can’t be trusted. I hope some of his own caucus see that.
Not President yet is not the point. He is in charge of the Republican congress and therefore de facto in charge of house negotiations. Johnson kisses his ring and does whatever Trump says. Why did Trump wait until last minute to use his influence is the question that was asked. Yet another slow moving train wreck in the making. Until Trump puts Bannon in charge, Trump is still a clueless dolt when it comes to the workings of Congress. Without Bannon, he is going to get rolled for 4 more years.
He’s a traitor to America. Debt is being used to defeat America.
Indeed he and his party have done nothing to support it a cast of bad actors if there ever was one.
Biden was placed in office for a reason as we are seeing why.
Lol.
Underestimating President Trump used to be normal behavior in these parts.
At this point it is just amusing.
