A reporter for "Punchbowl" news indicated in a tweet that the debt ceiling discussions between the White House and House Republicans have been temporarily paused. "We're at an impasse," a source involved in the talks stated. "Not one issue, but multiple issues have proven problematic," the source added. Earlier in the day, a White House official mentioned that "Democratic negotiators informed President Joe Biden that they are making steady progress in discussions with Republicans aimed at avoiding a default on U.S. obligations."
