U.S. Senate Democrats were struggling on Wednesday to find a path forward on President Joe Biden's $1.75 trillion domestic investment bill, with moderate Joe Manchin objecting to parts of the program, a person familiar with their negotiations said.
this month, Senate Democrats hoped to pass the sweeping "Build Back Better" bill before Christmas. But the source said Biden and Manchin remain "far apart," with Manchin objecting to an expanded child tax credit that other Democrats want in the program.
Some moderate Democratic senators saw no urgency in Schumer's Christmas deadline but such flexibility infuriates liberals, who already swallowed a raft of compromises. They were promised quick action if they helped pass a separate $1 trillion bipartisan road and bridge-building infrastructure bill, which they did.
As the waning days of the 2021 session of Congress tick down, the Senate parliamentarian still must rule on whether provisions in package, including a major reform of immigration policy, adhere to Senate rules.
