Biden Bristles at Reporters Over Debt Ceiling Questions: ‘You’re Not in the Real World’
President Biden bristled when questioned Monday about the high-stakes debt ceiling vote expected later this week — refusing to tell reporters how he might persuade skeptics in his own party while saying the press doesn’t “live in the real world.”
The House is set to vote on the debt-ceiling deal Wednesday after Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) reached a deal Saturday. A 99-page bill outlining the details of the agreement was released Sunday, prompting pushback from some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
“I’m not going to tell you,” Biden, 80, snapped at a reporter when asked on the White House lawn Monday what he would say to Democrat skeptics.
“Look, you guys all go on and say, ‘Tell them what a good deal this is’ — how about, ‘this was a 100% deal for Democrats!’ Do you think it’d help me get it passed?” he sneered.
When another reporter asked if the legislation would pass “no question” by June 5, the commander-in-chief also lashed out.
“You realize you’re not in the real world?” he shot back. (Read more from “Biden Bristles at Reporters Over Debt Ceiling Questions: ‘You’re Not in the Real World'” HERE)
