During a meeting in the Oval Office with Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Biden told reporters he expects they will discuss how they can reach an agreement.
