Taking this temporary deal but what does jen psaki have to say about it? >> jake, they don't seem nearly as excited as the senate democrats are. they're not framing it as mcconnell the way you saw elizabeth warren saying as they came out of that meeting. if they accept this agreement which as manu noted, senate democrats say they are ready to do so. it's only going to prolong the process. and that is something the press secretary jen psaki says president biden does not want to do because she believes that not only it delays the process but always comes with additional risks. >> why kick the ca...

That process again and democrats simply do not want to do that given they are running into a midterm election year where control of congress is at stake and also by going that process, as i noted they'll have to specify the exact level they want to raise the national debt limit to. rather than suspending the national debt limit which is what democrats want to do. suspend it and say it does not apply up until after the november midterms. all about taking very difficult votes that democrats don't want to take and republicans, too, don't want to offer any of their support to suspending the nation...
