Despite criticism for his high number of vacation days, the White House defends Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/comrade-de-blasio-were-going-to-have-sheriffs-deputies-go-to-the-home-or-hotel-of-every-single-traveler-coming-in-from-the-uk-video\/\" title=\"Comrade De Blasio: \u201cWe\u2019re going to Have Sheriff\u2019s Deputies go to the Home or Hotel of Every Single Traveler Coming in From the UK\u201d (VIDEO)\">travel plans<\/a>, stating that he will be wherever he needs to be to secure a reasonable, bipartisan deal to prevent the economic catastrophe that Republicans are threatening.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;ll do that wherever he needs to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<footer>&#8211; White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Biden&#8217;s physical absence from Washington and his low-key approach to the debt ceiling when in town have been worrying Democrats, who fear that Republicans are winning the messaging battle. Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Steven Horsford (D-NV) told Politico last week that they need to use the power of the presidency and that public silence does not help the negotiation.<\/p>\n<h3>Winning the Blame Game<\/h3>\n<p>Leaders from both political parties have alternated between pointing fingers at each other and promising a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-majority-leader-schumer-announces-agreement-to-extend-debt-ceiling-until-early-dec\/\" title=\"Senate Majority Leader Schumer announces agreement to extend debt ceiling until early Dec.\">debt limit deal<\/a> will get done, which could signal that winning the blame game is important to them. On that measure as well, the GOP may have a narrow lead. Some 47% of respondents in a Fox News poll believe Biden would be more at fault if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/absent-landlord-biden-questioned-for-skipping-town-as-debt-ceiling-deadline-inches-closer\/\" title=\"Biden under fire for leaving town as debt ceiling deadline approaches.\">debt limit negotiation failures devolve<\/a> into default, while 44% pointed the finger at Republicans, with 8% saying both would be to blame.<\/p>\n<h3>Lawmakers Heading Home for Memorial Day<\/h3>\n<p>Biden is far from the only prominent Washingtonian to skip town this weekend. With Memorial Day set for Monday, lawmakers are heading home with an expectation that they&#8217;ll be called back in early next week. However, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made it known he won&#8217;t be going anywhere, stating that he will continue the fight to curb inflation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mccarthy-staying-in-dc-to-fight-for-debt-ceiling-agreement-worthy-of-american-people-as-biden-heads-home\/\" title=\"McCarthy remains in DC to negotiate a debt ceiling agreement that satisfies the American people, while Biden departs.\">stop reckless spending<\/a>, make our economy stronger, and end our dependence on China.<\/p>\n<p>As the debt ceiling &#8220;X-date&#8221; approaches, the Biden administration has been calling the problem a crisis for weeks. Aside from the president himself, Jean-Pierre frequently shares the administration&#8217;s stance on the debt limit with the media, and deputy press secretary Andrew Bates sent out email blasts attacking Republicans for wanting to &#8220;trigger a recession and kill 8 million jobs if they can\u2019t get their way.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether a deal will be reached before the debt ceiling is reached, but one thing is for sure: the stakes are high, and the outcome will have a significant impact on the American people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As debt ceiling talks near their end, President Biden is away from Washington again.
