WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A debt limit meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and top lawmakers including Republican House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (1900 GMT) on Tuesday, a senior administration official said.

The meeting was previously scheduled for last Friday, but was postponed.

Aides from both sides have been discussing ways to limit federal spending, as talks on raising the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling to avoid a catastrophic default creep forward.

so the GOP's big reveal about the Biden Crime Family - that they all went on media again and again for the last few months - fell flat - their one witness with all the evidence - has vanished - almost like the evidence about the election fraud! What hasn't vanished is the evidence against trump and several GOP members - thats the trouble with GOP smokium - once it clears theres's another member of the GOP with a boy do I look st oooooooo pid face - in this case a lot of them - i mean even Fox is fact checking them on this - must have been that 800 million $ check they wrote for not fact checking for 3 years - guess their all going to be headed for truth social soon like Tucker! I mean if all you have is one witness with all the evidence - I think you have US marshals sit on him till the reveal - I'm sure Tommy Lee Jones could have advised you on that or james woods or steven seagal - oh wait he's over in russia - probably not taking call from the US right now!
