Trump and the GOP don't want to have a debt limit fight or the optics of them having to increase the debt limit themselves. So they want to punt it to after the midterm elections (which the timeline suggests the GOP expects to lose) in order to blame a Democratic majority for increasing the debt limit while the 'fiscally conservative' Republicans are all free to vote against it.

They want to blame Biden for raising the debt ceiling for money Trump and Musk want to loot.

like gun control reform to stop mass shootings; so kids don't have to have shooter drills in school anymore.

Fuck them. They wanted full control, they have it. Do whatever you can do.
