AOC on Debt Limit Talks: ‘No Matter What, Kevin McCarthy ... Needs Democrats to Bail Him Out’

‘His party is not united’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “What is really important, I think, to understand here is that it really seems that no matter what Kevin McCarthy in the House is going to require he needs Democrats to bail him out. This is not a situation of him holding all of the cards, and that is what makes the difference. His party is not united, and not only is it not united by a little, we're hearing and we're really seeing that most of the evidence is pointing that he only has two thirds of his caucus, and he may need many, many Democratic votes. And so for that, I think it's really important to understand exactly how weak his hand is here, and also the -- the -- the options that President Biden and Democrats have, are, frankly, much broader than the ones that he has right now.”
