Washington — President Biden is heading to Michigan on Tuesday to continue pitching his domestic policy agenda as the White House attempts to bridge the deep divisions in the Democratic Party over the size and scope of the president's sweeping social spending package.
Mr. Biden will travel to Howell, Michigan, and visit a training facility for the International Union of Operating Engineers before delivering remarks to drum up support for the two plans that are cornerstones of his agenda: the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and the larger package to expand the nation's social safety net and combat climate change.
