At least a dozen Senate Democrats have signaled that they might not vote for Biden's infrastructure package if it doesn't include paid family leave.
When asked about the possible exclusion of the paid family leave proposal on Wednesday, Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders called it"extremely disappointing." He said he doubted that"Again, we're the only major country on earth [that doesn't offer paid family leave]. If a low-income woman has a baby, she's forced back to work after a week.
Democratic Washington Senator Patty Murray responded by saying,"We are not going to let one or two men tell millions of women in this country that they can't have paid leave."of California has scheduled a Rules Committee hearing on Thursday to set up a debate on the package, Politico reported.
