Updated 4:25 p.m. | A House GOP offer to pass a six-week debt ceiling extension without reopening the government isn’t enough to jump-start stalled budget talks, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters at the White House.
After meeting for about an hour and a half with President Barack Obama, CQ Roll Call asked Reid if he would be willing to negotiate on reopening the government as the GOP has demanded.
“Not going to happen,” Reid replied and walked off.
The White House backed Reid in a readout provided by the press office.
“The President and the Senate Democrats will continue to pursue reasonable discussions about our budget challenges after these manufactured crises end,” the White House statement said.
