President Joe Biden will go to Capitol Hill on Friday, White House officials said, to meet with House Democrats amid infighting over his agenda.
President Joe Biden will head to Capitol Hill Friday afternoon to meet with House Democrats, White House officials said, amid party infighting over passing his agenda.
Biden, who has kept a low public profile most of the week while negotiating behind the scenes trying to break the impasse, is set to meet with Democrats at 3:30 p.m.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has twice had to delay a vote on a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan Biden supports because progressive Democrats are vowing to defeat it unless they also get a vote on $3.5 trillion social and climate policy measure he also supports -- but one that two moderate Democratic senators have objected to as too costly.
Some Democrats said they were excited to be hearing from Biden directly and some had complained in recent days that he was not more involved in negotiations.
