#shorts On 5/8/2023, during a press conference, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “
Reporter: Leader McConnell has made it pretty clear that there’s little room for the Senate to be involved in negotiations over the debt limit, that this has to be worked out between the President and the Speaker. What does the President make of McConnell’s hands-off approach here?

KJP: I mean, we’ve been very clear. Look, there shouldn’t be negotiations on the debt — on the debt limit. This is something that they should get to regular order and get to work on. We should not have House Republicans manufacturing a crisis on something that has been done 78 times since 1960.

This is their constitutional duty. Congress must act. That’s what the President is going to make very clear with — with the leaders tomorrow. Congress must avoid default without conditions — without conditions … So this is — the President is not going to, you know, change course here. We’ve been very, very clear that they need to do — they need to do their job.
