Ascendant left freezes Biden agenda: The Note
ABC News
President Joe Biden is set to hit the road this week to pitch his agenda, now frozen in Congress, directly to the American people
The TAKE with Rick Klein
If Democrats suffered a setback through the blown deadlines and finger-pointing of the last week, a big segment of the party isn't acting like it.
President Joe Biden is set to hit the road this week in lieu of member-to-member negotiations and urging all involved to think less about numbers than about shared values. Meanwhile, progressives are counting the infrastructure bill vote delay as a win and suggesting that the White House either does or should agree. And Sen. Bernie Sanders is still saying a $2 trillion budget compromise won't be enough -- while implying that Biden is in alignment with him.
"We have the American people very, very strongly on our side. We've got the president of the United States on our side," Sanders told Jonathan Karl on ABC's "This Week."
