Negotiations between the White House & Congress over the debt ceiling have been put on pause over the weekend as both sides continue to dig their heels in ahead of a looming default deadline — but POTUS expressed confidence it’s all part of the process.
“This goes in stages,” Biden told reporters in Japan on Saturday, adding that he’s “not at all” worried about the stalled negotiations. “The first meetings weren't all that progressive, the second ones were, the third one was.”The president’s comments come one day after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy temporarily put negotiations on “pause” due to disagreements on spending levels, only to send staff members back to the meeting room later that day.
However, Biden brushed off the disagreements as merely political showmanship, pointing to his previous experience making deals over the federal budget as evidence.
