A top negotiator for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Friday it’s time to “press pause” on talks as debt ceiling negotiations with the White House came to an abrupt halt at the Capitol.
Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., tapped by McCarthy, R-Calif., to lead the talks, emerged from an hourlong session and said gaps remained between House Republicans and the Democratic administration.
“It’s time to press pause because it’s just not productive,” Graves told reporters.
