yeah hard to blame repubs when dems hold presidency, house and senate. But repubs in the senate can filibuster it, it'd need 60 votes meaning 10 from repubs which ain't happening. But filibuster is not mentioned in the constitution so why that need for 60 votes? Cuz enough dems like it that way so they can blame repibs for things. Mainly Manchin and Sinema but likely more that won't say it. So basically you can say raising the debt limit doesn't have enough democrat votes. But they could do it with reconciliation. That doesn't need 60 votes. Why not do that right away? They will eventually but are negotiating other things like infrastructure now to be part of it.
