Chuck Schumerpricing News Today

A group of 21 Democratic U.S. representatives sent a letter to House leadership on Wednesday calling for a proposed bank reporting rule to be removed from the $2 trillion dollar budget reconciliation bill.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is being lobbied intensely from all sides as President Biden and Democratic negotiators try to clinch a deal on their massive economic spending plan.

Democrats are at risk of missing yet another self-imposed deadline to strike a long-sought deal on their sweeping social spending package.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he is “hopeful” that Democrats and the White House can reach a deal on a spending framework by the end of the day, though he acknowledged that sticking points remain.

Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) met with White House officials for roughly two hours Wednesday as Democrats race to try to lock down a deal on their social spending package.

What surprises me is that anyone is surprised by the time and difficulty involved in getting a deal.

Senate negotiators say that talks to craft a framework for a $2 trillion budget reconciliation package are in the homestretch and that President Biden is stepping up his effort to close the deal with Sens.
