Another kiss of death.
(The Hill) — Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Monday that a plan for raising the debt limit by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) makes the “best sense” for resolving the deadlocked and contentious issue.
“I see the Reid-McConnell bill as the only practical way forward,” Feinstein said Monday on MSNBC. “I think it makes very good sense and I hope that people see the light of day.”
Feinstein said the Reid-McConnell plan, which is still taking form, “does what needs to be done, it sets the limits,” as well as provides for a twelve-person commission of senators and House members to “come forward in a short period of time” in a way that protects a debt-ceiling increase from being amended or filibustered.
Last week, McConnell unveiled what he called a backup plan for raising the debt ceiling.
