Debt ceiling: Obama meeting with Democratic leadership

(Jim Young/Reuters)

According to NBC's Chuck Todd, President Obama is meeting at 5:30 PM ET with the House and Senate Democratic leadership. Expected to be there are Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer.

The meeting is to talk about debt ceiling negotiations. There was a prominently floated rumor of a deal between Obama and Boehner: that report was subsequently denied by the White House, after a "feisty" meeting between Reid and the White House budget director, Jack Lew.

So hopefully we'll have a much better idea of where things stand immediately after this meeting.
