Joe Biden waited 97 days to engage in debt ceiling talks with House Speaker McCarthy and other congressional leaders.
The White House is facing a June 1 deadline.
There will be “a huge backlash…in the streets” Jayapal said to CNN’s Manu Raju.
In other words, there will be violence unless the Democrats get their way.
