Debt ceiling talks grind ahead on as both sides are "far apart"

Debt ceiling negotiations are continuing Tuesday, but the White House and House Republicans are "far apart," Republican Rep. Garret Graves, who is one of the House GOP negotiators, told reporters.

The negotiating teams representing the White House and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are huddling again Tuesday, after President Joe Biden and McCarthy met at the White House Monday evening. White House negotiators Steve Richetti, Shalanda Young and Louisa Terrell entered House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's suite Tuesday morning to resume negotiations.

McCarthy on Tuesday afternoon said negotiators are "not there yet," but they could "still finish this by June 1."
