GOP Negotiator Garret Graves
On queue:
- GOP negotiator Garret Graves says there is not been any progress on talks
Earlier today, McCarthy said:
- Debt ceiling talks are still productive
He adds that negotiators will get together on Wednesday morning (but he has not spoken with Biden since Monday).
Graves said yesterday:
“There is a significant gap between where we are and where they are on finances… and unless and until the White House recognizes that this is a spending problem, we’re going to continue to have a significant gap”
It seems from the GOP side, McCarthy tries to spin more positively while Graves is tilted toward the negative side.
