Joe Biden waited 97 days to engage in debt ceiling talks with House Speaker McCarthy and other congressional leaders.
The White House is facing a June 1 deadline.
There will be “a huge backlash…in the streets” Jayapal said to CNN’s Manu Raju.
In other words, there will be violence unless the Democrats get their way.

McCarthy is definitely in the driver’s seat going into the debt ceiling negotiations.
According to an AP/NORC poll released Friday, a strong majority of Americans support McCarthy’s position of reducing deficit spending.
