With just one month remaining until Republicans take the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, there are growing calls by Democrats to address the nation'sDespite the series of new requests for a vote from veteran House Democrats and newly-elected members of Congress, who'd prefer not deal with a debt ceiling crisis in their first year on Capitol Hill, Congressional leaders have neither scheduled nor planned a vote on the debt ceiling before the end of the year.

Pelosi said the House will spend Tuesday taking up a Senate-passed bill to strengthen protections for same-sex marriages, but did not specify a date for any debate on the debt ceiling. "Leading Republicans in the House and Senate keep saying they want to hold the debt ceiling hostage as leverage to demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare, which the president has rightly ruled out," said Democratic Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia.

GOP Rep. Chip Roy of Texas on Thursday said addressing the debt ceiling in the lame-duck session is a"non-starter, period." "I think there's a lot of stuff that needs to happen, needs to fall into place and we're running out of daylight to do it," Burgess said."So that seems like a pretty big ask to get that done as well."
