John Boehner: Still no deal with the White House

in Uncategorized by

House Speaker John Boehner told House Republicans in a closed meeting this morning “that there is no deal to reopen the government and hike the debt ceiling, and no negotiations going on with the White House,” Politico reports.

Rep. Raul Labrador told The Hill: “It’s up to the Senate Republicans…the president rejected our deal.” 

Roll Call: “But even as House lawmakers seemed to be throwing the ball into the Senate’s court, there was deep suspicion of the Senate Republicans’ willingness to cut an acceptable deal with the White House and Senate Democrats.”
