Negotiations between the White House and Republican lawmakers over a debt ceiling deal have hit a snag, as the lead Republicans walked out of the talks on Friday. According to a White House official, there are real differences between the parties on budget issues, and talks will be difficult. Rep. Garrett Graves (R-La.) stated that Republicans need to “press pause” until people are willing to have reasonable conversations. The White House is still working towards a bipartisan solution, but it is unclear what will happen next.
