In response, McCarthy wrote in a statement Tuesday: "Mr. President: I received your staff’s memo. I'm not interested in political games. I'm coming to negotiate for the American people." President Joe Biden speaks at the construction site of the Hudson Tunnel Project, Jan. 31, 2023, in New York City."I want to find a reasonable and a responsible way that we can lift the debt ceiling but take control of this runaway spending," McCarthy said.
"Attempts to exploit the debt ceiling as leverage will not work," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters last month. "There will be no hostage taking.""For the president to say he wouldn't even negotiate -- that's irresponsible. We're going to be responsible. We're going to be sensible, and we're going to get this done together.
