Biden to meet McCarthy on Monday as debt ceiling deadline nears
will meet in person on Monday as the government races against a looming deadline to raise America’s debt limit before federal funds potentially run dry early next month.
McCarthy said after his call with Biden that “I think we can solve some of these problems if he understands what we’re looking at.” The speaker added, “But I’ve been very clear to him from the very beginning. We have to spend less money than we spent last year.”The Republican leader said “there’s no agreement on anything” and that ”we’ve all said our piece about where we are and we’re trying to find common ground to get this done.
McCarthy said that based on earlier discussions, “I felt that we were at a place where we could agree together that we would have compromise,.” Now, he said on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” “the president, even though he was overseas, thought to change places.”Biden made clear before leaving Japan that “it’s time for Republicans to accept that there is no deal to be made solely, solely, on their partisan terms.
