The president has agreed to meet with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, even as Biden maintains the U.S. should not haggle over preventing a default.
The party affirmed its political demands as Biden prepares to sit down with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the coming days — even though the president has maintained he will not haggle over the need to address one of the country’s most important fiscal obligations.
“You can’t just increase the debt limit and let President Biden keep spending like he’s done,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “There’s no time like the present, because we have the debt ceiling looming over us, to talk about this,” she said.Even Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, a key member of Biden’s party, signaled interest in holding spending talks. In a potential break with other Democrats, the pivotal centrist told CNN it would be a “mistake” if the president did not discuss some cuts with his GOP counterparts — particularly focusing on eliminating waste, fraud and abuse.
