You know, he and I and our teams, we were able to get along and get things done,\u201d Biden said in prime time remarks from the Oval Office. \u201cWe were straightforward with one another, completely honest with one another, respectful of one another. Both sides operated in good faith, both sides kept their word.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The president said he will sign the debt ceiling deal into law on Saturday. The White House has not released details about the bill signing and if McCarthy would be invited to it.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also commended Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), as well as Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), for acting \u201cresponsibly\u201d and said the votes in both chambers were \u201cfar more bipartisan than anyone thought was possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was critical to reach an agreement and it\u2019s very good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> for the American people,\u201d Biden said. \u201cNo one got everything they wanted but the American people got what they needed. We averted an economic crisis and an economic collapse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill passed the House on Wednesday with 149 Republicans\u00a0\u2014over two-thirds of the GOP conference \u2014 backing the bill, which was a major win for McCarthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The bill was voted through Congress this week after the prospects of the president and speaker\u00a0reaching a deal three months ago looked dim. Since the agreement was reached over Memorial Day Weekend, Biden and McCarthy have been publicly complimenting each other, as well as their top negotiators: Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.) and Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I ran for president, I was told the days of bipartisanship were over and that Democrats and Republicans can no longer work together,\u201d Biden said on Friday. \u201cBut, I refused to believe that because America can never give into that way of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The president called back to his State of the Union address in February, mentioning that some Republicans jeered from the audience and yelled that it wasn\u2019t true that they wanted to cut <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social<\/a> Security and Medicare. He recalled that he told Republicans to commit to not push for cuts to the welfare programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the bright lights and cameras on, those few Republicans that were protesting, they agreed. They said they wouldn\u2019t cut it,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s how we protected Social Security and Medicare from the beginning and from it being cut, period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal \u2014 which lifts the debt ceiling for two years \u2014 was met on Thursday evening when the Senate advanced the bill with a bipartisan majority, just days away from a possible default. Biden on Friday called the budget agreement \u201cvital\u201d and stressed the significance of meeting the deadline to avoid a historic default.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m speaking to you tonight. To report on a crisis averted and what we are doing to protect America\u2019s future,\u201d he said. \u201cPassing this budget agreement was critical. The stakes could not have been higher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president added that \u201cnothing would have been more irresponsible\u201d than a default, adding that retirement accounts would have been decimated and Americans would have lost their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u00a0has faced some backlash\u00a0over the deal from progressive Democrats after he had to bow to Republicans on demands like lower domestic discretionary spending and new work requirements for food stamps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>And, McCarthy was criticized by far-right conservatives in his caucus who thought the final bill didn\u2019t cut spending enough, suspended the debt ceiling for too long, and excluded provisions they pushed for like repealing of green energy tax credits and an end to Biden\u2019s student loan forgiveness program. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
