House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) offered to make President Joe Biden a “soft food” lunch in order to meet in person to talk about the debt limit.
“He is making the decision that he wants to put the economy in jeopardy,” McCarthy said at a press conference on Thursday. “I don’t know what more I can do and how easy — I would bring lunch to the White House. I would make it soft food if that’s what he wants. It doesn’t matter. Whatever it takes to meet.”
McCarthy’s dig at the president’s age comes after the speaker tried to kick-start the negotiations between the two on having fiscal reforms in exchange for raising the debt limit. However, the Democrats are continuing to stonewall Republicans by not wanting to come to the table.
