Skeptical US Senate Democrats seek meeting with Biden on 'fiscal cliff' deal -aide Dec 31st 2012, 22:16 WASHINGTON | Mon Dec 31, 2012 5:16pm EST WASHINGTON Dec 31 (Reuters) - Skeptical U.S. Senate Democrats requested a meeting on Monday with Vice President Joe Biden about the tentative deal on the "fiscal cliff" that he is forging with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, a Democratic Senate aide said. With the deal apparently short of needed support, Democrats are hopeful that Biden will meet with them, but have not yet received a commitment, the aide said. Some Democrats complain that Biden went too far to find common ground with McConnell. Congress and the White House face a midnight deadline (0500 GMT Tuesday) to avert the fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts.
