Schumer, Manchin to meet with Biden in Delaware: report
Fox News
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., will be meeting with both President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Sunday, as Democrats continue to have trouble agreeing to terms on a massive social spending bill to go alongside a bipartisan infrastructure bill.
The discussion comes nearly one month after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed to hold a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Progressives have threatened to tank that bill, however, if the party does not first come to terms on a much larger social spending bill that Democrats would pass through budget reconciliation – a process that only requires a simple majority but Democrats would need everyone in the party, including the moderate Manchin, to achieve that.
Schumer had said last week that he wanted to reach a deal on the reconciliation bill by Friday. The day before that deadline, Manchin had told reporters, "This is not going to happen anytime soon, guys," The Hill reported. The social spending bill was originally expected to cost $3.5 trillion, but Manchin is pushing for a far less expensive package.
