Democratic leaders seek to placate liberals by kicking off effort to pass Biden agenda along party lines
CNN
Senate Democratic leaders, facing skepticism from liberals about the direction of bipartisan infrastructure talks, plan to formally begin a process that would allow them to pass President Joe Biden's signature policy agenda along straight party lines.
The move is meant to placate progressives who are concerned their priorities won't be included in a bipartisan plan and is a way for Democratic leaders to show they are pushing forward with a strategy to pass sweeping legislation on the strength of their narrow Senate majority and without Republican support. But it risks turning off moderate Democrats who are more focused on reaching across the aisle and threatens to scuttle a carefully crafted compromise with Republicans.
