Biden to host top congressional leaders at White House in May
By Morgan Chalfant - 04/28/21 05:09 PM EDT President Biden plans to host the top four congressional leaders at the White House on May 12.
The meeting, which was confirmed by a White House official and spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), would be the first visit to Biden’s White House by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
The meeting, which was first reported by Bloomberg News Wednesday afternoon, represents Biden’s latest effort to reach across the aisle amid high partisan tensions in Washington. Biden campaigned on being able to work with Republicans but thus far he has not struck any deals with the opposing party.
“The President looks forward to building on that engagement by having a dialogue with Leader Schumer, Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy about policy areas of mutual agreement and identifying common ground on which they can work together and deliver results on the challenges facing American families,” the White House official said.
