The House Speaker says Republicans are threatening the economy when they vote against raising the debt limit.
Nancy Pelosi said it's one thing to make a statement and have a few lawmakers vote against it, but when they all make that choice, it hurts the American people.
The California Democrat said the focus is now on passing the social spending package that's part of President Biden's Build Back Better agenda.
Pelosi said she and fellow lawmakers are very proud of the bill that will advance life for Americans in a fair and green way.
