Leaders on capitol hill are huddling this week at the White House to figure out a solution to the debt ceiling crisis before a June 1 deadline.

The deadline is when it is estimated the United States will run out of money to pay its bills.

Here's Central Illinois Congressman Eric Sorenson.

Sorenson said Republicans are making the crisis a political issue.

For Republicans, they know a President has never been re-elected if a recession occurred while they were in office.

President Biden is meeting with leaders from both sides of the aisle at the White House today.
