A meeting planned for Friday between President Biden and top congressional leaders on the debt ceiling has been postponed until next week, according to people with knowledge of the matter. It was not immediately clear who had postponed the meeting or why.
Biden was expected to huddle with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy , Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries . The leaders also met on Tuesday with only weeks left before a June 1 deadline to raise the nation’s debt limit.
It was not immediately clear who had postponed the meeting or why, and accounts differed on the postponement’s significance. One GOP lawmaker, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private talks, said the meeting had been postponed because discussions among staff members had been moving too slowly.
