The White House is looking to reset the messaging this week around its multitrillion-dollar spending bills deadlocked in Congress, as President Biden hits the road to pitch popular elements of the package.
WASHINGTON — The White House is looking to reset the messaging this week around its multitrillion-dollar spending billsin Congress, as President Joe Biden hits the road to pitch popular elements of the package.
Both the infrastructure bill and the social spending measure have the support of Democrats, but moderates have pushed to reduce the size of the social safety net bill while progressives insist the spending is needed especially following the economic upheaval caused by the pandemic. Biden had numerous phone calls over the weekend from his Delaware home with members of Congress, said the official, who declined to say which members.
The new messaging effort comes after weeks of infighting among Democrats that have left moderates and progressives at a stalemate over how to move forward. House Democratic leaders failed to unify their party Friday to pass the infrastructure bill despite a last minute scramble by the president and senior White House officials to try to bridge the divide.
