Biden reveals details of Democratic talks on sweeping social agenda
CNN
President Joe Biden on Thursday provided new insight into Democratic negotiations over his sweeping economic plan for the country, outlining where the talks stand as members of his party negotiate key aspects of his legislative agenda.
The President, addressing an audience during CNN's town hall in Baltimore, touted child care and home health care provisions while fielding wide-ranging questions over his Build Back Better agenda -- comprised of a $1.5 trillion public works bill and the larger, still-under-negotiation spending plan.
Biden said he would not support a work requirement for the child tax credit -- a provision moderate West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is pushing for within theDemocrats' massive social spending bill. He also confirmed to town hall moderator Anderson Cooper that a paid parental leave provision in his social safety net plan has been narrowed down from 12 weeks to 4 weeks.
