Biden, McCarthy to meet Monday on debt ceiling 10 days before funding crunch
Fox News
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden are set to meet Monday once more on the debt ceiling, after staff-level talks have failed to far to reach a deal.
Negotiators for both McCarthy, R-Calif., and Biden have been meeting for more than a week, and met again for about two and a half hours on Sunday night, just two days after Republicans called for a "pause" in the talks because no progress was being made. Aides declined to offer details Sunday about whether things were getting any better as McCarthy prepared for his Monday meeting with Biden.

One of McCarthy’s top allies, House Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., told reporters outside the speaker’s office on Monday that talks had been productive but said there were still obstacles to overcome.
