• Jean-Pierre will brief reporters on what to expect when President Biden hosts Congressional leaders at the White House tomorrow (January 24).
• The White House meeting comes as top Democrats suggest that the White House should be more flexible on negotiations with Republicans to avoid a debt limit crisis.
• Former Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad said over the weekend: “You can see that there is the possibility at least of a negotiation… A failure to deal with the debt limit would be catastrophic for the economy. Any serious person who has studied this knows the economic consequences would be deep, long-lasting and disastrous.”
• Questions from the press pack are again likely to focus on Biden's document controversy after a Department of Justice search of his Delaware residence turned up another tranche of classified government documents.
