In Hill talks, Biden takes down the temperature in push for commitments and an end game
CNN
President Joe Biden didn't enter the back-to-back-back meetings on Wednesday with nearly two dozen Democratic lawmakers demanding a deal -- or even looking for one. Things are simply too far apart for that at the moment.
But he did demand action, according to lawmakers and officials involved in the meetings.
Through four hours and 21 minutes, Biden probed, cajoled, praised, told a few stories and made sure lawmakers had access to the individually-wrapped chocolate chip cookies with the gold embossed White House seal provided for snacks.
