Debt limit negotiations will continue over the weekend
After meeting Friday for a third straight day, House, Senate and White House negotiators still don’t have a deal but are expected to continue to talk over the weekend, according to a source familiar with the matter. Two sources involved in the talks said there has been progress but there’s a long way to go. One source said it takes months to hammer out a fiscal deal, but they are trying to do that in just a matter of days.
” It’s just not productive for the principles to re-litigate their talking points in the Oval Office and staff had not gotten themselves to a place yet where there was enough for Biden and McCarthy to actually negotiate on. McCarthy told CNN on Thursday that “The White House didn’t cancel the meeting, all of the leaders decided it’s probably in the best of our interest to let the staff meet again before we get back together.
