White House dials up 'urgency' as President Biden meets with Democrats on economic bill.
Biden met Monday with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus,"to continue their conversations around his visionary, popular, and transformative Build Back Better agenda," said a spokesperson for Jayapal.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a key centrist holdout who has rejected the proposed $3.5 trillion level, expressed doubt that a deal could be reached by the end of the month. "It's a difficult task, but we're committed to getting it done," Schumer said, describing"productive conversations" between Democrats in recent days and pitching the bill as an effort to help Americans"climb up to the middle class and stay in the middle class."
Biden will try again to sell the plan to the public Wednesday in his first trip as president to his former hometown, Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he has marked significant moments in the past. The White House said the trip is intended"to continue rallying public support" for the two bills.
