Republicans are voicing confidence as Democrats appear to be digging in ahead of a meeting planned for Tuesday at the White House on raising the debt ceiling.
In an appearance Sunday on CBS News, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, explained why he is less pessimistic about negotiations than he was just two months ago.
“Instead of being at the depths of the ocean, I’m merely drowning,” McHenry told “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan.
