Debt limit talks broke down again Tuesday as negotiators described the disagreements over spending levels and other policy add-ons as too far of a gap to bridge.
Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., one of Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s proxies in the negotiations, said Tuesday evening that no further meetings with the White House negotiators were scheduled but Republicans would be ready to meet once there’s something new to discuss.
“There is a significant gap between where we are and where they are on finances,” Graves said, noting the White House has not presented any offers to bridge that gap.
