House Dems Call on Biden to Negotiate Debt Ceiling With McCarthy
is saying, ‘Let’s just get rid of the debt ceiling altogether,’ and then we got another camp that’s saying, ‘We’re not going to raise it at all,’” Golden said. “I think there’s a middle ground there, and I think that’s where the president needs to be working with the Republican leadership in the House to try to find that middle ground.”
House Democrats Call for Negotiations on Debt Ceiling
Two House Democrats are urging President Joe Biden to negotiate with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on the debt ceiling following the passage of the House GOP-led bill to raise the cap this past week.
Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), who represents a swing Maine district, and Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), a first-term congressman who won with under 52 percent of the vote, are saying that Biden should negotiate with McCarthy on the debt ceiling.
Golden told CNN on Friday the president needs to sit down and talk to McCarthy about making a debt ceiling compromise now that the Republicans passed a bill, “You’ve been asking them to pass something – so it’s time to sit down and talk.”
Finding a Middle Ground
“We got one camp that is saying, ‘Let’s just get rid of the debt ceiling altogether,’ and then we got another camp that’s saying, ‘We’re not going to raise it at all,’” Golden said. “I think there’s a middle ground there, and I think that’s where the president needs to be working with the Republican leadership in the House to try to find that middle ground.”
What’s Next?
As the debate over the debt ceiling continues, it remains to be seen whether Biden will take the Democrats’ advice and negotiate with McCarthy. However, with the country’s financial stability at stake, finding a compromise may be crucial.
- Will Biden negotiate with McCarthy?
- What will be the outcome of the debt ceiling debate?
- How will this impact the country’s financial stability?
These are just a few of the questions that remain unanswered as the debate over the debt ceiling continues.
House Democrats Want Biden to Negotiate Debt Ceiling with McCarthy After GOP-Led Bill Passed House
House Democrats are calling on President Joe Biden to negotiate with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on the debt ceiling after a GOP-led bill passed the House. However, there are differing opinions on when the discussion should take place.
The Debate
“They want to talk about spending — and they want to do that before they agree to raise the debt ceiling,” said Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME). “We have got another camp that says they are willing to sit down and talk about spending after we deal with a debt limit. It’s semantics.”
Rep. Moskowitz (D-FL) also weighed in, stating that Biden must negotiate with the Speaker. “Yeah, and that’s been my position from the beginning. I always think that the president of the United States and the Speaker should always be talking,” Moskowitz said when pressed about the White House’s position to not negotiate with McCarthy being unsustainable.
The Solution
Despite the differing opinions, there is hope that a solution can be reached. “Joe Biden has shown his entire career — it’s why he’s president — that he is someone that will also negotiate, he’ll always talk. So listen, I have faith that Joe Biden and the Speaker will sit down and come to an agreement,” Moskowitz added.
Takeaway
- House Democrats want Biden to negotiate with McCarthy on the debt ceiling.
- There are differing opinions on when the discussion should take place.
- Despite the disagreement, there is hope for a solution.
It’s important for both parties to come to an agreement on the debt ceiling to ensure the stability of the economy. Hopefully, negotiations will take place soon and a solution will be reached.

“We should always be talking. We should never say…we’re not going to speak to folks across the aisle,” said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

This comes after a GOP-led bill passed the House, causing concern among Democrats about the potential economic consequences.
Why Negotiation is Key

By coming to the table and discussing their concerns, Democrats and Republicans can work together to find a compromise that benefits the American people.
The Importance of Communication
As Hoyer said, communication is crucial in politics. By talking to each other and listening to different perspectives, politicians can gain a better understanding of the issues at hand and work towards a solution. It’s time for both parties to put aside their differences and come together for the good of the country.

Democrats Refuse to Negotiate on Debt Ceiling as House Republicans Pass Legislation
House Republicans passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 on Wednesday, which would raise the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion while saving the government an estimated $4.8 trillion over the next ten years. However, Democrats have refused to support the legislation, and President Biden has yet to meet with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to discuss the plan.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned of “economic catastrophe” if the debt ceiling is not raised in time, but the White House has released a Statement of Administration Policy calling the Republican-led legislation “reckless” and threatening to veto it if it reaches Biden’s desk.
Biden Caught Off Guard by McCarthy’s Success
According to Politico, Biden was caught off guard by McCarthy’s success in getting the debt ceiling bill passed through the House, and White House officials “remain nervous about how and when the standoff will end.”
Sen. Joe Manchin Urges Biden to Negotiate
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has urged Biden to meet with McCarthy to negotiate a compromise that would prevent a historic default. “The clock is ticking on this debt ceiling crisis, and the American people will pay the economic price if President Biden continues to refuse to sit down and negotiate,” Manchin said.
