#shorts on 4/27/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “The nation’s biggest business lobbying group, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is now directly calling on the administration to sit down and negotiate on the debt limit, saying the administration needs to sit with congressional leaders, not delay to find a path to raise the debt ceiling, and address runaway deficits. Will the President sit down with Speaker McCarthy at least right now on the budget, as he said he would yesterday?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, been very clear. We’ve been very, very clear on this. Again, not mincing words here. As we — what we have seen they have put together is an agenda — an extreme MAGA wish list … And the President has said really cle- — really, really clearly: When it comes to the debt ceiling, they cannot allow this to happen — this is the Republicans in the House. They cannot allow this to happen. It is their constitutional duty to do so.

I’ve gotten this question that you’ve asked me many different ways. I’ve answered it the same way. We don’t — I don’t have anything new to say. They should not allow any default.
