A meet is irrelevant without a victory which I expect will be non-existent.

More debt...a huge win.

Joe agreeing to meet at the last minute is a victory?

He is simply waiting until the last minute so that if Republicans don’t give him everything he wants, he can blame Republicans for the shutdown.

Biden was smart to cave on this. At least to “negotiate”

I predict he wont negotiate at all, and will completely stone wall and high ball the congressional republicans, but he has to at least go for appearances sake.

The republicans hold the higher ground here. The optics for Biden of going into default without at least negotiating (or appearing to negotiate) would have been very bad for him.

No score...He’s going to tell McCarthy to shove it...and someday, when the Repubs win the Whitehouse, they can have their turn. In the meantime...sun doesn’t shine

Meeting with McCarthy does not mean that Biden will or is caving.

In fact, Biden (his bosses, really) will use the occasion to accuse republicans of refusing to work on a debt limit that meets the democrats’ targeted debt limit. It’s purely for politics that Biden is meeting with republicans. McCarthy is the one that will cave in the end.

Democrats will try to backstab you at every opportunity. That was Peelosi’s stock and trade.

It’s the first step. Now they Peter Ducey can ask “I thought you said you would not negotiate or discuss the debt limit? Now Biden has. What else have you lied about?”

Passing the bill in the house was a huge win for McCarthy as it shifted the blame to democrats and Biden.

Having a meeting is a good thing, but we have to see what the results of the meeting and any negotiations are , before we say this was a big victory.

Then the GOP needs to get on the same page and say we passed a bill that increases the debt ceiling. We are waiting for Democrats in the Senate to do the same and Joe Biden to sign it.

He probably just could not remember who Kevin McCarthy was.

Biden:
“Why should I meet with Joseph McCarthy?”
“He will just call me a communist”

Eventually, the budget impasse story will morph into “Women and Minorities hardest hit.” As always, 100% of it will be blamed on the Republicans.

You know how the game is played.

The best I recall was when DJT invited pelousy and scummer to the White House to discuss the budget. They figured they would gang up on him beyond closed doors. He surprised them with the press there to broadcast the negotiations. They looked like two roaches on the floor when the lights go on, scurrying for the door as quick as possible.

That line coming from THIS administration is ... well, I'm gonna need a new keyboard after that.

McCarthy got what he wanted a Whitehouse visit. Now he will appropriately bend over for Joey and Schmuster.
