Debt ceiling talks dominate Biden's agenda.

A team of White House negotiators met with aides of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy at the Capitol on Tuesday night in an effort to hammer out a deal to raise the debt ceiling ahead of a potential default. The talks have been snarled by disagreements over whether to toughen work requirements for federal aid programs. House Democrats are beginning an emergency effort to force a vote on a debt ceiling increase with a “discharge petition” that will be filed by Budget Committee ranking member Brendan Boyle, D-Pa.
