" that is why Biden is trying to stick to the 3.5 trillion"

President Joe Biden deflated the air of urgency around a bipartisan infrastructure vote and tamped down liberal dreams of a $3.5 trillion spending bill in a speech before House Democrats Friday that left some members fuming.

Biden discussed a price tag for his broader social spending bill of between $1.9 trillion and $2.3 trillion, far short of progressive push for $3.5 trillion — but one that he suggested Senate moderates could back. And he declared no infrastructure vote until a deal on that larger spending bill, dashing promises Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team had made to moderates.
