Negotiations between representatives for the White House and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over raising the debt ceiling have seemingly reached an impasse, with the lead GOP negotiator accusing the White House of being "unreasonable."
Leaving a meeting with White House negotiators at the Capitol on Friday, GOP Rep. Garret Graves of Louisiana said there are "no updates" and "we're not there." Graves, who is representing McCarthy alongside Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, said the decision was made to take a pause "because it's just not productive" and "they're just unreasonable."
