Rep. Robert Aderholt of Alabama, a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, recently commented on the challenges of passing a debt limit measure before the December 20 funding deadline. Aderholt stated that meeting this deadline, as demanded by President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance, would be 'very difficult'.
Despite the anticipated difficulties, Aderholt expressed a willingness to consider the possibility of passing a debt limit measure if President Trump deems it necessary. He emphasized the importance of addressing this issue during Trump's tenure, stating, 'It's gonna be on his watch so we need to look at it'.
