Liberals are fuming at a pared-back social spending plan. Leaders want a deal that can unlock an infrastructure vote. Can the president rally his party?
President Joe Biden's White House outlined a framework for $1.75 trillion in social spending on Thursday morning as Biden prepares to sell a pared-back deal to resistant progressives in a high-stakes appearance on Capitol Hill.
The Biden huddle is a little bit of déjà vu. In many ways Democrats are reliving the nightmarish week in late September when liberal objectionsa vote on the Senate-passed infrastructure bill, enraging the party’s centrists. Biden yielded to progressives’ demands during a visit to the Hill four weeks ago, rather than leaning on his left flank to support the bipartisan bill.
Biden said as he entered the Capitol that "everyone’s on board" — then jokingly asked another member of Congress if they were on board too. One of the biggest proponents of Medicare expansion and prescription drug reform, Sen. Bernie Sanders , returned from a meeting with Biden Wednesday evening saying it was “inconceivable” he would agree to a package that was missing those two critical progressive goals — as well as paid leave — all because two centrist holdouts object.
"This is exactly why we need legislative text and all parties fully agreed to that bill text," the source said, speaking candidly on condition of anonymity. Rep. Veronica Escobar , another one of progressives’ vote-counters, added that "nothing’s changed for dozens of progressives."
