A reporter asked PressSec during Monday’s briefing whether POTUS's position was that he would not meet with SpeakerMcCarthy “until McCarthy gives in.” Her answer sounded a lot like “yes.”
“The president said he's happy to meet with McCarthy but not on whether or not the debt limit gets extended,” Jean-Pierre said. “That's not negotiable.” She later added, “We've been very clear on what we will negotiate about, which is appropriations and the budget.”
Biden isn’t blinking yet."President Biden will stress that Congress must take action to avoid default without conditions and invited the four leaders to the White House to discuss the urgency of preventing default, as well as how to initiate a separate process to address the budget and fiscal year 2024 appropriations," a White House official said.
This nevertheless means that Biden and his Capitol Hill interlocutors may have less time to reach a deal and resolve the crisis than originally anticipated. The Congressional Budget Office has similarly revised its timeline based on federal receipts being less than projected previously. The White House has appeared confident, based on past showdowns over either the debt ceiling or government funding, that Democrats could win this argument. Biden, as vice president, was involved in negotiations that led to spending cuts and a delayed resolution of the debt ceiling, which was followed by a credit rating downgrade. He has therefore wanted to avoid a repeat.
Republican pollsters have also detected signs they could win this debate. An April American Viewpoint poll of 87 battleground congressional districts conducted for American Action Network found that 50% oppose raising the debt ceiling without cutting government spending. A larger majority of independents lean toward the Republican position.
