Senate Democrats are making efforts to resuscitate President Joe Biden‘s Build Back Better social spending bill with concerns that if they don’t, the party will suffer in the midterm elections in November. “Democrats win elections when we show we understand the painful economic realities facing American families and convince voters we will deliver meaningful change,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) wrote in a Times op-ed published on Monday. “To put it bluntly: if we fail to use the months remaining before the elections to deliver on more of our agenda, Democrats are headed toward big ...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) presented a paired-down version of President Joe Biden‘s Build Back Better Act, a proposed $1.75 trillion social spending bill, after rejecting it back in December. Manchin’s proposal axed key initiatives like expanded childcare, universal pre-kindergarten, paid family leave and long-term home health care. Instead, he put forward a reconciliation package aimed at reforming the tax code and lowering the costs of prescription drugs. Then, the revenue from that move will be split between lowing the federal deficit and inflation and playing for new climate and so...

The White House has formally launched “Buy Clean,” a new task force that will promote sustainability by prioritizing the purchase of clean construction materials. President Joe Biden signed an executive order last December, promising to cut emissions by 65% by 2030 to accomplish net zero emissions by 2050. “Buy Clean Task Force” is a big part of that, as it will “create markets for low carbon materials.” “Buy Clean” will outline ways to identify clean materials. For example, top-quality steel can be created with clean pellets, and the U.S. steel industry already ranks as the cleanest in the wo...

Senate Democrats are pressing President Joe Biden not to give up on the child tax credit, and they now want to get it passed in any part of the Build Back Better spending bill that is able to get through the Senate. As part of last year’s coronavirus relief package, the IRS paid most American parents up to $300 for each child who was 17 and under per month from July to December. The payments were stopped this month after an extension failed to pass through Congress. Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet (Colorado), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Cory Booker (New Jersey), Raphael Warnock (Georgia) and Ron Wyd...

After the Democrats failed to get enough votes to change the filibuster to pass voting reform and approve President Joe Biden‘s $1.7 trillion Build Back Better social spending bill, Democrats in Congress want to focus on passing a bill backed with some GOP support. BBB is undergoing major changes to satisfy centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia), and the President said that he’s willing to sign off on whatever “chunks” of the bill can get through the Senate. “What the president calls ‘chunks’ I would hope would be a major bill going forward.

President Joe Biden‘s $1.7 trillion social and climate spending proposal is going nowhere fast. “I’m really not going to talk about Build Back Better because I think I’ve been very clear on that. There is no negotiation going on at this time,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) said. The Build Back Better Act is aimed toward education, the climate, health and childcare. The House passed the bill, but it has stalled in the Senate. Manchin spoke with Biden last month and there has been no movement since. The Senate has been concentrating on election reform, where Manchin again stands in the way ...

Democrats are working to see how flexible the White House’s framework for their massive social spending package is. Lawmakers are hoping to make adjustments to the package released Thursday on topics like healthcare, climate and paid family leave.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) said on Sunday that Democrats are in “striking distance” of winning a long-sought-after agreement on President Joe Biden‘s domestic agenda. The speaker said there are a “couple outstanding issues” to work out on healthcare, but the environmental aspects of the bill “are resolved.” “It’s exciting because whatever it is it’s going to be bigger than anything we’ve ever done for the American people,” she said. A key barrier blocking a deal is Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Arizona), who opposes increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy. Biden in a CNN town...
