Biden employs flurry of meetings to unite warring factions
| President Biden on Wednesday launched a full-court press, hosting a series of White House meetings with lawmakers in a bid to unite warring factions of his own party behind his sweeping, multitrillion-dollar economic agenda.
Progressive and moderate Democrats have been feuding for weeks over the size, scope and timing of Biden’s $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, designed to expand the social safety net and combat climate change. With a key deadline set for Monday, Biden is stepping up his involvement in the negotiations and trying to get his troops marching in the same direction. |
