His remarks appear to be in response to the House Freedom Caucus budget proposal, which contrasts with his own $6.9 trillion budget that is almost certainly doomed to failure in the lower chamber. A counterproposal to Biden's plan has not yet been made public by the Republican leadership.

Biden warned that "almost 900 pounds of fentanyl" could flood the US if "MAGA House Republicans" got their way in one of his apparent barbs at the program.

The $31.4 trillion debt ceiling is the subject of a fierce fight amongst Democrats right now. Although the Treasury Department has taken "exceptional measures" to extend federal funding, those actions are expected to come to an end by the end of June. The country's borrowing authority will need to be resolved by Congress, or the government will be compelled to discontinue supporting essential programs.
