Good morning, I'm Taylor Wilson, and this is five things you need to know Tuesday, the 23rd of May, 2023.

Today we check in with the Dead Sealing Talks, plus a new candidate enters the Republican presidential field,

and we hear about a historic baseball park in New Jersey.

Another day without a deal on the Dead Sealing, that's despite what appeared to be a productive meeting

between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy yesterday.

I spoke with USA Today White House correspondent Joey Garrison for more.

Howdy Joey.

Hey Taylor, thanks for having me.

Thanks for coming back on.

So you wrote that President Joe Biden has been ramping up his rhetoric in this Dead Sealing fight.

He obviously met with McCarthy again on Monday.

What did the latest chapter in these tensions look like on Monday?

President Biden and Speaker McCarthy both said they had a productive meeting,

but it was unclear exactly in which areas they made headway on.

McCarthy still pointed to spending cuts, whether it's expanded work requirements to be eligible for certain welfare programs

and other spending caps that Republicans want.

He's still digging into those and refusing a proposal by the White House to increase tax revenue

by increasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans and corporations.

But they did say it was a productive meeting and they think that they can get something done,

but there's still no deal yet.

And what seems to be the biggest sticking point at this point?

Well, I mean, I mentioned two of them.
