Biden's Options for Dealing with Debt Limit Talks and Republican Negotiations
TL;DR Summary
Joe Biden's history of negotiating with Republicans has not been successful, as seen in his involvement in the 2012 fiscal cliff negotiations. Despite promising not to negotiate with Republicans over lifting the debt ceiling, Biden went into negotiations without a serious offer of his own. He made a few half-hearted suggestions that were dropped when Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy objected. Talks continued at the White House between McCarthy and Biden Monday evening, but with Biden now negotiating the size of the cut, Democrats’ only hope is that Republicans can’t agree and fail to seize the moment.
