Several House Democrats continue to call on President Joe Biden to negotiate the debt ceiling with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) following the passage of the House GOP-led bill to raise the cap last week.
As numerous Democrats have made their intentions clear to the public that Biden should negotiate with McCarthy earlier last month, over the last several days, the left has continued to call for the president to start talking with the Speaker over the debt ceiling — especially after the House GOP successfully passed legislation last week catching the White House off guard.
In a letter dated last Wednesday to Biden and McCarthy, three lawmakers — Reps. Jared Golden (D-ME), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Mary Peltola (D-AK) — urged: “It is time to end the partisan standoff and brinkmanship before it rattles markets, damages our economy, and hurts the American people.”
