President Joe Biden on Wednesday struggled to explain why he delayed negotiating with House Republicans on raising the debt ceiling.
Speaking at SUNY Westchester Community College in New York with a backdrop that resembled former President Donald Trump’s stage setting, Biden spoke about “why Congress must avoid default immediately,” even though negotiations were delayed on the brink of default.
Financial experts predict the federal government will run out of money as soon as June 1. In April, the Republican-controlled House passed a bill to avoid default and cut wasteful spending. Biden waited over 93 days to have a “conversation” on Tuesday with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on the subject.
