President Biden will attend a House Democratic caucus meeting this morning to build support for his economic agenda. ylanmui has the latest.
WASHINGTON — As Democratic committee chairs and their aides took up the task Wednesday of writing legislation to enact President Joe Biden's signature social spending bill, internal divisions over Medicare expansion and paid family leave were among the last remaining hurdles to a final deal, lawmakers said.
The president was expected to use the caucus meeting to personally appeal to House progressives to vote for the stalled infrastructure bill, which has already passed the Senate. Biden is scheduled to depart Thursday for a week of summits in Europe, and it's no secret that the White House wants some good news to share with the world during his trip.
A proposal to create a federal paid family and medical leave system was reportedly dropped from the bill on Wednesday afternoon, according to NBC News, citing sources familiar with the talks. Sen. Elizabeth Warren , Sen. Ron Wyden and Sen. Angus King speak to reporters about a corporate minimum tax plan at the U.S. Capitol October 26, 2021 in Washington, DC.But Manchin sees it as an additional, unnecessary government benefit in the bill, one that raises the overall cost of the legislation.
The invisible line between individuals making under $400,000 a year and those making more than that is an important one to Biden. The president has repeatedly pledged that nothing in this bill would raise taxes on people "making less than $400,000 a year."
