Senators are en route home from DC for a planned weeklong recess as negotiators for SpeakerMcCarthy and POTUS struggle to reach a deal to avert a debt default.
Most members began heading back to their home states when the Senate adjourned Thursday evening, hours after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confirmed that the May recess would move forward despite the White House and House Republicans remaining at odds on the debt limit issue.The debt ceiling, or the top amount the federal government can borrow, will either need to be raised or abolished sometime next month to avert a default.
At the time, the majority leader noted that"negotiations are currently making progress," citing McCarthy's prediction that the"House will vote next week if an agreement is reached and the Senate would begin consideration after that." That timeline would not interfere with the May recess, though it would put the United States at risk of missing the deadline to avoid default.
“Until people are willing to have reasonable conversations about how you can actually move forward and do the right thing, then we’re not going to sit here and talk to ourselves,” Graves told reporters as he left the meeting.
