Biden & McCarthy Appear To Remain Disconnected On Debt Ceiling Strategy

President Joe Biden & Speaker McCarthy still undergo talks on how to avoid a catastrophe with national debt with little no significant progress.

After more than a month of disagreements and 'talks', the two leaders agreed to directly come to a deal on Tuesday, before the federal government runs out of spending power.

Biden told reporters on that both sides will "come together because there's no alternative", after as he cut short his trip in Asia. 

McCarthy said that him and Biden are on a "short timeline", yet promising that he will "get it done".
