On Tuesday, Biden traveled to a union workers facility outside of Detroit and made his first voter-facing address regarding his “Build Back Better” agenda since congressional Democrats gridlocked over it last week.
WASHINGTON — As President Biden’s domestic priorities stall in Washington, he is betting on a pitch to the broader American public to sway a politically gridlocked Congress to vote through two key spending bills that could define his administration.
President Biden speaks about the bipartisan infrastructure bill and his Build Back Better agenda in Howell, Mich., on Tuesday. for a bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill unless it’s tied to the passage of a sweeping $3.5 trillion budget bill that addresses many key party issues, such as childcare, climate change and more. Meanwhile, moderate Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., have objected to the price tag of the larger bill.
Democratic leaders are trying to determine if a scaled-back price tag for the larger bill — perhaps closer to $2 trillion — can appease both ideological wings of their party. Such a concession would force hard choices about which priorities to keep and which ones to jettison. At the Tuesday event, Biden said that the United States is losing its edge in infrastructure, and that the dual spending bills are critical during this “inflection point” in American politics. He argued that the debate is not a partisan one, even though the vote remains fractured along partisan lines, but is instead a division between people who stand for or against American innovation.
