"According to Biden, the plans of House Republicans are "almost unbelievable." He noted that the cuts that they have proposed would affect the people who rely on Medicare and Social Security."
In response to the debt ceiling debate, Biden noted that he would not allow the Republican members of Congress to use the issue as a bargaining chip.
In addition, Biden criticized the actions of House Republicans, who he claimed are threatening to have the US default on its debt. He accused them of intentionally hurting the American people.
According to the New York Post, Biden used the word "Doug" four times during his speech. He was referring to Democratic Congressman Don Beyer of Virginia.
"During his speech, Biden referred to the fact that he and Doug have something in common. He then thanked the congressman for his passport."
The debt ceiling debate has been escalating between Democrats and Republicans. The two parties are reportedly still debating where to cut spending as they try to reach a deal to increase the country's borrowing authority. According to NBC News, Republicans also refuse to raise taxes as part of a solution to the issue.
Despite the statements made by the president, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California reportedly agreed not to include the cuts proposed by the Republicans in the negotiations.
