#shorts on 4/27/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “House Republicans passed legislation on the budget and debt limit. What is the White House’s response to this? And do you feel like the ball is in your court now to, you know, start negotiations with House Republicans as the next move?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: … As the President said yesterday, he’s happy to meet with Speaker McCarthy but not on whether or not the debt limit gets extended. That is not negotiable, and we have been very clear about this for the past several months. We have not minced words here … We are not negotiating on this. We have been very clear it is their constitutional duty to take action.
