The Senate will not be returning until Feb. 6. The GOP-led House will be out of session until January 24.<\/p>\n<p>In December, the\u00a0Democratic Congress, with the help of votes from Republicans in the 50-50 Senate,\u00a0passed a year-long, $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that didn&#8217;t address the debt ceiling. Through the remainder of fiscal year 20,23, the bill increased domestic and defense spending over fiscal year 2022.<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, whose party was still the House minority at that time, advocated a short-term financing bill to allow the GOP-led House the chance to negotiate a larger spending plan in January. Despite Republican winning the House majority, Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell maintained that the door was open for a long-term funding bill. In the end, 18 Senate Republicans voted in support of the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative Republicans have called for spending cuts in exchange for voting to increase the debt limit, but President\u00a0Biden and his allies in Congress want a clean increase to the debt ceiling without any strings attached.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy stated that he was open to discussing the issue with Biden, but on Tuesday the White House informed reporters that Biden wasn&#8217;t open for negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s going to be no negotiation over it,&#8221;\u00a0Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press secretary, said Tuesday that the White House wants Congress raise the debt limit. &#8220;without conditions.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Biden could not negotiate and the House GOP could stop voting to increase the debt ceiling. That would lead to a partial government shutdown, until some kind of agreement is reached.\u00a0It is not clear if lawmakers will return to recess in time to reach an agreement on the debt limit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There will be Republicans who will say we need to reform, we need to use this as a vehicle to try to put some limits on our spending, on our debt and our deficits,&#8221; On Sunday, Chris Stewart, Utah Republican Rep., spoke on CBS&#8217;s &#8220;Still Life&#8221; &#8220;Face the Nation.&#8221; &#8220;And I am one of them, and there are many others who will be.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Congress is out of session with just two days to go before the Jan. 19 deadline for the federal government to raise the $31.4 trillion\u00a0debt limit.
