Biden has no plans to meet with McCarthy over GOP budget impasse
President Biden has no plans to meet House Speaker McCarthy ahead of a possible government shutdown. McCarthy says he and the president should meet to discuss the impasse, but White House budget director Shalanda Young says there’s already a budget agreement in place.
