The Biden Administration has rolled back its larger spending plan after meetings with moderate and progressive Democratic lawmakers Tuesday, cutting out a number of progressive priorities in the hope of getting the bill passed.
The Associated Press reports President Biden met with two separate groups of progressive and moderate Congressional Democrats in private meetings Tuesday to discuss curtailing the spending plan in hopes of getting it passed.
The AP reports: “Democrats appeared ready to abandon what had been a loftier $3.5 trillion package in favor of a smaller, more workable proposal that can unite the party and win passage in the closely divided Congress.” With just an 8-seat majority in the House of Representatives and an evenly split Senate, the Democrats need the support of their entire caucus if they want to pass any new spending measure through budget reconciliation.
