President Biden has accused Senate Republicans of playing “Russian roulette” with the U.S. economy for blocking efforts to raise the U.S. government’s debt limit. Biden warned the Republican move could be catastrophic for the economy.

President Joe Biden: “A meteor is headed to crash into our economy. Democrats are willing to do all the work stopping it. Republicans just have to let us do our job. Just get out of the way. If you don’t want to help save the country, get out of the way, so you don’t destroy it.”
