those are the ones who want to keep this big reconciliation package on social spending, on climate change big. he's having these virtual meetings with those progressives. he's also trying to get support for his domestic agenda. what are you hearing? > figuring out what to do with the nation's credit is the most immediate issue facing the president. obviously a critical contingent in the house. > we're also hearing that the president, i think right now, kaitlan, has been meeting with progressives, members of the house. will run out of money and it's really not clear what but the treasury secretary says starting two weeks from today the u.s. the president is warning that you are going to see effects before that because technically the u.s. > so what happens between now and two weeks from now, october 18th? that's the deadline.


they don't have time for that and they are trying to up the pressure on republicans to help them vote to increase the nation's borrowing limit. that's where only democrats would vote to support it but democratic leaders are saying that's a long, complicated process. they are saying they need to use that process known as reconciliation. but senate - former senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, now senate minority leader said in a letter to the president today that no republicans are going to vote for that saying that democrats are going to have to do it on their own. now that is what they are asking republicans to do here. they got the support of democrats at that time.

That's because republicans did vote to raise the debt limit when donald trump was in office.
