Other Democrats, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and West Virginia Sen.

How Would It Work?)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite his ability to pass a debt ceiling increase with only 51 votes, Schumer blamed Republicans for not expediting the process, accusing them of \u201cputting our country in serious, serious danger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve gone so far as rejecting their own requests for how the debt ceiling should be raised. Their own requests. We\u2019re putting those in action, they\u2019re now saying no. Why do you think? Why do you think? Now the Republican leader has repeatedly stated that the Democrats must raise the debt ceiling on our own and he\u2019s directly cited precedents of 2003, 2004, and 2006, when the Senate voted to race the debt ceiling by a majority vote. But what he conveniently and repeatedly ignores, he knows better, he ignores that in each of those examples, the minority allowed an up-or-down vote without a partisan filibuster. In other words, the other side said, \u2018get us the 50 votes and we won\u2019t make you get to 60,&#8217;\u201d Schumer claimed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe aren\u2019t asking Republicans to support it when it comes time for a vote. We only ask that they get out of the way so Democrats can pass it on our own, just as the majority party did in the early 2000s,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell cited Republican votes to raise the debt ceiling unilaterally in 2003, 2004 and 2006 on Monday in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/f\/?id=0000017c-4b9b-dddc-a77e-4f9b932b0000\">letter<\/a> to President Joe Biden.
