“Unless they’re willing to have reasonable conversations about how to move forward and do the right thing, we’re not going to sit here talking to each other,” Graves said.
Meanwhile, Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell tweeted, “Time for the White House to get serious. Time is running out.”
Graves’ comments come a day after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said a deal could go to a vote in the House of Representatives next week.
