Biden failing to unite party around massive infrastructure and welfare spending packages
(Worthy News) – President Biden, who won the White House boasting that he was a sophisticated negotiator in Washington, was failing Thursday to overcome a legislative impasse within his Democratic Party over his $3.5 trillion social welfare package and his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
The infrastructure legislation, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi planned to bring to the floor on Monday but moved to Thursday, still isn’t enough for House liberals to support unless Democrats pair it with Mr. Biden’s more extensive spending measure.
Frantic negotiations were continuing late Thursday, and House Democratic leaders insisted there would be a floor vote. But dozens of far-left lawmakers were signaling that they wouldn’t vote for the measure. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
