President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) emerged from their latest meeting on the debt ceiling in agreement on one key item: They had appointed a small group of officials to lead talks in the hopes of making more rapid progress.
“We narrowed the group to meet and hammer out our differences,” Biden said Wednesday.
The group of negotiators spoke Tuesday night, were set to meet again Wednesday and are expected to be in touch frequently before the president and top congressional leaders reconvene next week after Biden returns from Japan.
Here are the officials taking the lead on talks with the White House and Congress facing a time crunch to clinch a deal on raising the debt ceiling.
