It has been three months since Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), freshly elected as speaker of the House, called on President Joe Biden to negotiate spending cuts in exchange for hiking the debt limit.
Yet as Congress returns from a two-week recess on Monday, House Republicans are no closer to resolving what has become a protracted fight with the president.Lawmakers fly back to Washington on Monday to consider a series of measures being voted on this week, including an effort to roll back police reforms enacted by the Council of the District of Columbia and legislation banning transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports.
“There is one responsible solution to the debt limit: addressing it promptly, without brinksmanship or hostage taking — as Republicans did three times in the last administration and as Presidents Trump and Reagan argued for in office,” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement Monday.
Biden argues negotiations won't be productive without McCarthy putting forward a budget that details the cuts Republicans want to make and refuses to sit down with him until then. The president says the ball is in the Republicans' court after the White House released its own 2024 budget blueprint in March.
Democrats are already messaging that Republicans want to slash popular programs and hurt the poor, and centrists may balk at taking a politically tough vote.
