Debt ceiling negotiations escalate as Biden urges Republicans to move from 'extreme positions'.

President Joe Biden called on Republicans to move from their "extreme positions" in debt ceiling negotiations and consider raising revenues. He also stated that he wouldn't agree to work requirements on food aid programs if GOP negotiators refuse to consider raising revenues. Biden suggested that invoking the 14th Amendment to raise the debt limit was still on the table, but likely not a move that could be used in the short term. He expressed optimism that talks might get back on track once he's back in Washington and hopes to negotiate directly with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
