From Fox News: Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., wrote in a New York Times guest essay on Thursday that President Donald Trump was “right about one thing,” as she agreed with the president’s call to eliminate the nation’s debt ceiling limit.
“It is possible that hell has frozen over. President Trump and I agree on something very important: Abolish the debt limit,” Warren wrote in the Times opinion piece. “The debt limit is a political tool that allows the minority party to threaten economic collapse, forcing Congress to negotiate its demands. It serves no other function. None. It has no impact on spending, and it doesn’t restrain the growth of the national debt.”
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” includes a debt ceiling increase of $5 trillion, which is a sore spot for some Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who said it was a “terrible idea.”
“I’ve pushed publicly and privately, whether Democrats or Republicans have been in charge, to scrap the debt ceiling permanently. Now, with Mr. Trump’s support, our country could finally get rid of this form of brinkmanship that has, for decades, threatened the stability of our economy,” the liberal senator said.
On May 30, Warren posted a video of President Trump commenting about her proposal, and said, “.@realDonaldTrump and I agree: the debt limit should be scrapped to prevent an economic catastrophe.
“Let’s pass a bipartisan bill and get rid of it forever. But jacking up the debt limit by $4 trillion to fund more tax breaks for billionaires is an outrage.”

President Trump then wrote on Truth Social on June 4: “I am very pleased to announce that, after all of these years, I agree with Senator Elizabeth Warren on SOMETHING. The Debt Limit should be entirely scrapped to prevent an Economic catastrophe. It is too devastating to be put in the hands of political people that may want to use it despite the horrendous effect it could have on our Country and, indirectly, even the World. As to Senator Warren’s second statement on the $4 Trillion Dollars, I like that also, but it would have to be done over a period of time, as short as possible. Let’s get together, Republican and Democrat, and DO THIS!”
One of the best things about @SenWarren is her consistency of position, regardless of who is in charge. That and her willingness to work with Trump no matter how many nasty names he calls her. Abolishing the debt ceiling is the right call.https://t.co/oMoAowjha4
