Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) vowed Tuesday to attach legislation raising the debt limit to a Hurricane Harvey relief bill the House is expected to approve on Wednesday, setting up a confrontation among Republicans in Congress.
Cornyn said Congress has no choice but to raise the debt ceiling now given the need for help in his home state, the escalating costs and the governments diminishing coffers.
It's imperative that we get that supplemental passed, Cornyn told reporters.
He said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had made the decision to tie the debt limit hike to the Harvey bill.
