Senate Dems say Biden should talk to McCarthy, but only about the debt, not spending cuts
Fox News
Two top Democratic senators joined Sen. Joe Manchin over the weekend in calling for President Joe Biden to discuss the debt limit with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Neither signaled support for the spending cuts that Republicans are seeking. But Democrats appear to believe that if they can get Biden to agree to the meeting itself, without a commitment to cut spending, it would be a better course of action than simply remaining in a stalemate until a possible debt default.

"Of course, President Biden should sit down with Speaker McCarthy," Klobuchar said Sunday on CNN Sunday. But she also indicated she favors Biden's position, which is to handle the debt ceiling first, and only then talk about possible spending cuts.
