GOP leaders are weighing how to deal with a looming deadline to raise the debt ceiling.

President Trump is pressuring Republicans to not allow Democrats to use the borrowing limit as a leverage point.

But fiscal hawks in the Republican conference could make any party-line debt limit bump impossible.

The latest idea is to include a debt limit hike in a package that pairs regular government funding and wildfire aid.

Rep. Jeffries : Republicans have not opened up any line of communication with us.

Rep. Richard Neal (D- Mass. ) said Republicans have responsibility to raise the debt ceiling.

Neal: “I’ve never heard of anything like that before — conditioning, disaster relief. That never happened in all the years I've been here”.
