House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that it is a "non-starter" to attach California wildfire aid to a debt limit increase.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) floated the idea last week that he would tie the debt ceiling to the end of Trump 's presidency.

President Trump has suggested he wants the debt limit taken off his plate so Democrats can't use it as leverage.

Jeffries also said he has not had any conversation with Trump about his efforts to extend tax cuts.
