So why the cause for optimism?
KJP: Well, look, the cause for optimism is because you heard it from the Speaker himself: It was a good discussion … But look, as it relates — as I’ve always said, when it comes to lifting the debt ceiling, that is a completely separate issue. And that has not changed. You saw that from our readout yesterday. You’ve heard this from me, you’ve heard it from the President, you’ve heard it from Brian Deese and others in this administration, that — that we need to do that without conditions. The debt ceiling needs to be lifted without conditions. And — and so, we still stand by that. That has not changed.
Reporter: But given the optimism — I understand you don’t want to get — you’re not going to detail negotiations because this is an ongoing process, but should we take that there were potential areas of agreement that were identified here?
KJP: I wouldn’t — I — look, I’m not going to speak for the Speaker. I certainly am not his spokesperson. But President Biden has made it very clear that it is up to Congress to live out their congressional duty … the President has said — he’s been clear on the — on the — the debt ceiling: We’re not — we’re — it should be done without conditions. He’s willing and ready to discuss how we can lower costs
Reporter: The Speaker mentioned that the debate could go on for five months. Is that what you’re expecting as well? Is that okay with you?
KJP: Look, what we — what we — what we have been very clear about — and I’ll say it again: When it comes to the debt ceiling, it is something that should be done. It is something that is … we don’t see any negotiation here. We don’t see anything that needs to be discussed. We see this as a duty that they have to get this done.
