other world leaders. they get domestic politics and understand what the president is dealing with but it is bigger than just the climate provisions i think in this bill. it has turned into something bigger because earlier this week that is what the white house was saying is he wanted to have this deal in his hands so when he does go to the climate summit he can say, hey, look. this is how the united states is leading on these provisions and we expect other nations to follow suit. now what you re hearing from democratic leaders is it has turned into more confidence in governing aspect like what you were saying where the president at the last summit saw a lot of the world leaders about four or five months ago the g7 he was saying america is back. this is proving that democracy works. this is how we govern. of course now that there s been a lot of chaos surrounding his own agenda that is something that the white house is focusing on and even house speaker pelosi saying the president neede
obamacare, child tax credit, $500 million for climate change, housing money in addition to that. so democrats will advance their priorities in a major way if they can pass this. what the president is trying to do is say we ve taken it as far as we can. i m confident that manchin and sinema will be there. house democratic caucus, trust me, we re going to get this done. it doesn t mean they have to pass that infrastructure bill today, but the president would like to see that happen. democratic leaders are gambling they might be able to make it happen. but as manu indicated, there s still a burden of persuasion that is falling on the president, and he s doing his best right now. john harwood, manu raju, appreciate the reporting as always. jim? well, erica, after the president addresses the nation, an update on his domestic agenda, he ll board air force one across the atlantic to rome for his first g-20 meeting as commander in chief with a lot of crucial issues facing world leaders inc
believed they had a deal. then you started to hear public comments from lawmakers that, no, they re not ready. i spoke to senator ed markey a few minutes ago, and he said, hey, we can wait, don t have to do it before g-20. what s the reality? reporter: it seems we re getting movement because we are hearing from democrats saying the house speaker nancy pelosi has asked for a vote on the infrastructure bill today. of course that would mean that these progressives who previously have said they would not vote for that infrastructure bill, which has passed the senate, they would not vote for it unless they saw a vote in the senate on the bigger package or at least a more concrete agre agreement. we even heard from progressives this morning saying they d like to see the legislative text here, which of course we know the white house says they don t have yet. this is news. pelosi saying possible scheduling of a vote today. manu raju is on capitol hill. manu, you know better than me, nancy
erica? looking forward to that. manu raju on capitol hill this morning. cnn s john harwood is at the white house. manu, let s start with you. this meeting, the full democratic caucus in there, no phones we re told, so everybody of course wants some details. what were you hearing from lawmakers heading into the meeting? well, i m hearing a little bit about both heading into the meeting and out of the meeting. i talked to a couple member wos just left who told me what joe biden has been doing for close to an hour is going through the proposal, this overall framework in which he s trying to get congress behind, explaining why he believes it s a transformational proposal, why democrats should get behind it, not just the larger plan but also the infrastructure bill, that separate $1.2 trillion bill that s been waiting action in the house for months. but proelzgressives have threatd to block it because they want the larger bill, the social safety net bill, to advance,
not add to the deficit at all. this could be the biggest gamble of the biden presidency. house speaker nancy pelosi pushing for a vote on the separate infrastructure bill despite clear messages from progressives who say they will not support it without knowing more specifics, without seeing legislative texts for the social spending bill. they want to know that it will go through and, again, that guaranteed support not there right now for senate democrats. pelosi, meantime, warning her caucus not to embarrass the president as he travels to europe with america s reputation and his own credibility at stake. cnn s phil mattingly is in rome. manu raju on capitol hill. panu, i want to start with you, because some of the reaction that we re hearing coming out of the meeting of the progressive caucus, it is very clear that they are digging in today. today may not be a vote for infrastructure. they are not happy. yeah, they are not, and nancy
