House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday he was sending his negotiators to the White House and he anticipated a breakthrough on a deal to cut spending and raise the debt limit.
Mr. McCarthy said the negotiations were still far apart when it came to cutting spending but House Republicans were committed “to solving the problem.”
“I’m sending our negotiating team down to the White House to try to finish up the negotiations,” said Mr. McCarthy, California Republican. “I think we can make progress today, I’m hoping we can make progress today.”
For more than a week, negotiations have been deadlocked over spending cuts.
