Biden ‘didn’t come off clearly to the American people’ on debt ceiling, Democratic congressman says

President Joe Biden should not have said he would not negotiate on the debt ceiling Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said. “This looks like we gave in to the terrorist tactics of the Republicans, and at the end of the day, as I said, that’s not really what happened here. We negotiated a budget deal that we were going to have to negotiate,” Smith said.
