Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has placed the burden on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to negotiate a debt ceiling solution with the White House.
But this time around, some House Republicans, who narrowly control the lower chamber, want to tie debt ceiling talks to negotiations on spending cuts. McConnell told reporters he thinks it's"entirely reasonable" for the House to"put spending reductions on the table."
"We've got to change the way we are spending money wastefully in this country, and we're going to make sure that happens," McCarthy previously told reporters, adding:"We don't want to put any fiscal problems through our economy, and we won't."Many Senate Republicans say that now that Republicans control the House, it's incumbent on the White House to begin talks with McCarthy.
"I think you have to sit down and talk to everybody and find out if there's an objection and find out where it is," he told reporters Monday."We all know that we're going to pass the debt ceiling, we're not going to let the country default." "We can't have people worried about whether they are going to get paid," Romney stressed to reporters.
