Annie Andersen: PRESIDENT BIDEN ON CAPITOL HILL TODAY – WITH HIGH STAKES FOR HIS AGENDA.
BIDEN IS MAKING THE IN-PERSON PUSH TO HOUSE DEMOCRATS DEMS.
’ACCORDING TO PBS, THE FRAMEWORK HAS A PRICE TAG OF 1.75 TRILLION DOLLARS.
MORE THAN THE 1.5 TRILLION CENTRIST SENATOR JOE MANCHIN HAS SAID HE WANTS TO SPEND… BUT LESS THAN THE 3.5 TRILLION DOLLARS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ORIGINALLY WANTED.
THE ONGOING STANDOFF THREATENS TO TANK THE PRESIDENT’S DOMESTIC AGENDA AND LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.
BIDEN HOPES TO HAVE THIS IN THE BAG BEFORE LEAVING FOR EUROPE.
Reporter: “Mr. President, what’s your message to progressives who don’t trust Manchin and Sinema?”
President Joe Biden: “It’s a good day.”
Reporter:”Do you have enough of a framework to get progressives to support…”
President Joe Biden: “Yes.”
BIDEN HASN’T GIVEN A TIMELINE FOR THIS… SAYING HE WILL LEAVE THAT UP TO SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI.
STRAIGHT FROM DC, I’M ANNIE ANDERSEN.
