Manchin meets with McCarthy on debt limit
by Alexander Bolton - 01/25/23 1:45 PM ET


Centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) met with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) Wednesday to urge the House Republican leader to negotiate with President Biden on legislation to raise the debt limit, a sign the senior West Virginia senator could play a pivotal role in bipartisan talks.

Manchin’s meeting with McCarthy comes at a time when other Democrats, including Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Rep. Brendan Boyle (Pa.), the ranking member on the House Budget Committee, say that Democrats should not negotiate over the debt limit. 

A source familiar with the meeting said Manchin encouraged McCarthy to negotiate with Biden to find a path forward that would avoid harming the American people. 

The source described the interaction as “a good meeting” and said “no commitments” were made.

Biden is the one who would not negotiate.
