Biden&#8217;s team had planned to continue negotiations with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy&#8217;s own negotiators through the weekend, but discussions ground to a halt when Republican lawmakers abruptly left a meeting with White House officials on Friday morning. <\/p>\n<h3>Republicans Accuse White House of Playing Hardball<\/h3>\n<p>Republicans have accused the White House and Democrats of not seriously considering cuts proposed by the GOP, specifically the two-year caps that would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-senator-blackburn-to-introduce-bill-designed-to-limit-federal-spending-during-high-inflation-periods\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Senator Blackburn To Introduce Bill Designed To Limit Federal Spending During High Inflation Periods\">limit federal spending<\/a> to 2022 levels. &#8220;We\u2019ve got to get movement by the White House. And we don\u2019t have any movement yet,&#8221; McCarthy told reporters following Friday&#8217;s negotiations breakdown. <\/p>\n<h3>Biden&#8217;s Hopes for Bipartisan Solution Undermined by Democrats<\/h3>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s hopes for a bipartisan solution have been further undermined by members of his own party. A group of 11 Senate Democrats sent a letter to the White House on Thursday urging the president to invoke the 14th Amendment to avoid a default without help from Republicans, echoing calls from some in the progressive base. <\/p>\n<h3>White House Running Out of Time to Avoid Default<\/h3>\n<p>No matter which route Biden ultimately chooses, the White House is rapidly running out of time to avoid a default. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has repeatedly stated this week that the &#8220;X-date,&#8221; the point at which the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/debt-ceiling-tests-biden-claims-to-be-master-deal-maker-and-uniter-in-chief\/\" title=\"Biden's claim as a master deal-maker and 'uniter in chief' is being tested by the debt ceiling.\">nation fully exhausts measures<\/a> to meet its debts, will occur in early June, not July as previously believed. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biden&#8217;s ability to unite Republicans on debt limit agreement questioned<\/li>\n<li>Republicans accuse White House of playing hardball<\/li>\n<li>Biden&#8217;s hopes for bipartisan solution undermined by Democrats<\/li>\n<li>White House running out of time to avoid default<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite the apparent gap between the two sides, senior Democrat officials have warned not to &#8220;underestimate&#8221; Biden&#8217;s ability to close the deal. &#8220;Republicans are playing a game of chicken with the economic future of the nation, but we have full confidence in the president and his team can safely avoid a default,&#8221; one official said. <\/p>\n<p>Whether or not Biden invokes the 14th Amendment, the White House is rapidly running out of time to avoid a default.
