Republicans have leveraged the debt ceiling for years to block Democrats’ agenda. Now liberals see an opening to stymy Trump.

Members of President Donald Trump’s own party could complicate his effort to avoid a standoff over extending the nation’s borrowing limit — which means a complication for Trump’s legislative plans overall as he manages big promises and small Republican congressional majorities.

Congressional GOP leaders are in a massive pickle as they weigh 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.
