Last week, US President Joe Biden announced that he is running for re-election in 2024. His goal is then to be re-elected together with Vice President Kamala Harris.

At the same time, an infected row is collapsing the US debt ceiling where Republicans in Congress refuse to raise the debt ceiling without a negotiation with the president. We find out what this debt ceiling is for and why they are so in agreement about it.
