Democrats are seizing on a decision by GOP leadership to send members home for the Memorial Day recess without a deal on the debt ceiling nailed down.
Republican leaders told House lawmakers on Wednesday they would still be permitted to go on recess for the holiday weekend, with the caveat they must be prepared to return to the Capitol on 24 hours' notice in case an agreement is struck on the debt ceiling. The news was met with protests by Democrats, who argue lawmakers should stay in Washington, D.C., to get an agreement across the finish line.“I don't understand the lack of urgency.
“It’s clear that Republican leadership in the House doesn't understand the effect default will have on our economy,” said Rep. Annie Kuster . “Republican colleagues, I’m staying. I’m missing my goddaughter’s wedding because I have a job to do. Where are you?” Rep. Debbie Dingell said on Thursday. Republicans are not expected to meet with White House negotiators again on Thursday, but the speaker said they remain in communication and will be working “24/7” until they come to an agreement.
