McConnell calls for negotiation on debt ceiling

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY): ‘Obviously, from our perspective, that needs to be led by the speaker. They're in the majority. The President knows full well, since he was a negotiating partner years ago, that this has been done before, and I think a deal has to be cut, obviously between the House majority and the Democratic president in order to have a chance to survive over here. So we're all behind Kevin and wishing him well in negotiation.’
