House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday he was sending his negotiators to the White House and he anticipated a breakthrough on a deal to cut spending and raise the debt limit.
Mr. McCarthy said the negotiations were still far apart when it came to cutting spending but House Republicans were committed “to solving the problem.”
Complicating the talks is that House Republicans also want to boost funding for border security, veterans and the Pentagon. President Biden and Republicans also are divided on expanding work requirements for able-bodied and childless adults.
