Biden To Update On Infra Bill-FOX, WaPo Report Full Dem Support

WHITE HOUSE

FOX News reporting that President Joe Biden is set to provide an update on the reconciliation bill (the Build Back Better bill) before he flies to Europe for the G20/COP26 summits. FOX states that Biden is set to announce a framework for the bill has been agreed to that will allow its passage with full Democratic support in the Senate (all 50 Dem Sens need to approve the bill for passage).

  • An agreement among Democratic senators would be the culmination of months of negotiations and horse trading, which has stymied the White House's plans for recovering from the pandemic so far and enacting President Biden's huge spending priorities.
  • On the smaller bipartisan infrastructure framework, FOX's Chad Pergram tweets: "House vote on infrastructure bill could come tonight or tomorrow. Social spending vote is days away. Keep in mind the House has already debated the infrastructure bill - in September. All they need to do is vote. The House would then sync up with the Senate - which approved the infrastructure bill in early August"
