Joe Manchin (D-WV) speaks to reporters outside of the U.S. Capitol on September 30, 2021 in Washington, DC. The Senate passws a short term spending bill to avoid a government shutdown, which quickly made it to the president\u2019s desk and was signed into law.

The $28.4 trillion ceiling was re-imposed in August following a two-year suspension. The U.S. could default on its debt if the ceiling is not raised, an unprecedented situation that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says would be \u201ccatastrophic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have blocked several Democratic attempts to raise the ceiling, arguing that it is Democratic spending that contributes the vast majority of debt and Democrats should be responsible for raising the ceiling on their own. This could be achieved by including a provision raising the debt ceiling in the filibuster-immune $3.5 trillion budget plan. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/29\/joe-biden-infrastructure-congressional-baseball-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Biden Hands Out Ice Cream At Baseball Game While Infrastructure Negotiations Intensify)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Democrats, however, have faced severe infighting over whether the $3.5 trillion bill should be passed at all, with moderates arguing that a smaller, bipartisan $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill must be passed first.
