Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer wouldn't budge Monday from his stance that Democrats will not negotiate spending cuts with House Republicans in exchange for lifting the debt ceiling that's set to be breached this summer.

Mr. Schumer said the onus is on Mr. McCarthy to propose a detailed budget with desired cuts before meeting with him and President Biden at the White House to hash out a deal.
