Later, Representative Kevin McCarthy, Republican of California and the House majority whip, will discuss a supposed thaw in the relationship between President Obama and Congressional Republicans, in the wake of the two sides’ recently sitting down for dinner in either an act of political theater or a genuine step toward a bipartisan solution.
