Elizabeth Warren Challenges Scott Bessent: Should We Kill the Debt Limit?

In this powerful exchange, Senator Elizabeth Warren confronts Scott Bessent on one of the most urgent issues facing America’s economy today — the federal debt limit. What is the debt ceiling, why does it matter, and what happens if Congress fails to raise or repeal it?
