Listen to live special coverage from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. of talks between President Obama and congressional leaders regarding impending automatic spending cuts and tax increases.
House Speaker John Boehner, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are due at the White House for a 2:00 p.m. meeting with the president. We do not know how long the meeting might last, and we do not know if any of the participants will speak publicly following the meeting.
We do not expect to receive advance notice of any public statements. If one or more of the participants does makes a public statement, we will go to it live.
