President Joe Biden is ignoring Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and his repeated call for negotiations on the nation’s debt ceiling following House passage of a Republican debt and spending bill.
For weeks, Biden has refused to negotiate over raising the $31.4 trillion debt limit saying that doing so would put the “full faith and credit of the United States” at risk. The president has repeatedly called on Congress to pass a “clean” increase in the borrowing limit, unencumbered by restrictions on future spending.
