House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington said Sunday the ball is in President Biden’s court when it comes to raising the debt ceiling and avoiding default amid broken-down negotiations.
The Texas Republican emphasized that the onus is on the president to strike a deal because House Republicans passed their own debt limit increase that includes trillions of dollars in cuts over the next decade.
Mr. Biden said Sunday that he is exploring whether his administration can invoke the 14th Amendment to avoid default. At a press conference with reporters at the Group of Seven meeting in Japan, he said there are logistical challenges to invoking the amendment in time.
