Biden meeting with Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill amid talks over infrastructure, social-spending bills

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Friday that U.S. President Joe Biden would be travelling to Capitol Hill amid ongoing talks over an infrastructure spending bill and a social-spending bill, to “make the case” for his legislative agenda. Progressives have vowed to block the $1 trillion infrastructure bill without an agreement to advance a larger social spending and climate change bill, while moderates say that bill’s current $3.5 trillion price tag is too high.
