As we approach 200 days, the president is dealing with backlash over his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. The Taliban is returning to power and the junk food media is back to the "scary" Muslim narrative.
The Senate is still debating over the For The People's Act and the John Lewis Voting Act. The two moderates in the Senate and several Karens like Sen. Karen Scott (R-SC) are working on a "watered down" version of the bills.
The president's job approval is 49%.
President Joe Biden's headaches:
- The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
- Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a Democratic Socialist.
- The so-called progressive members of The Squad.
- The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
- Americans who refuse to get vaccinated or follow CDC mandates.
- Washed Up 45
- Fox's relentless talk about his son Hunter Biden.
The Senate passed their $3.8 trillion infrastructure bill and its heading to the House of Representatives.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is tasked to gathering the necessary votes to pass the infrastructure package. It's expected to be a nailbiter because Republicans are not likely to support it and there's a handful of Democrats who are not willing to support it.
The so-called Squad and some progressive lawmakers are threatening to sink the deal because the reconciliation bill that includes tax increases on the wealthy, climate change and "human" infrastructure is not included in the bill.
Now nine Democratic members of the House want Pelosi to take up the historic infrastructure bill that cleared the Senate earlier this week ― or else.
"Some have suggested that we hold off on considering the Senate infrastructure bill for months," the group said. "We disagree."
The lawmakers threatened Democratic budget priorities if House leadership does not put the bipartisan measure first.
Swing district Democrats warn that the bill needs to passed or else. |
"With the livelihoods of hardworking American families at stake, we simply can't afford months of unnecessary delays and risk squandering this once-in-a-century bipartisan infrastructure package. It’s time to get shovels in the ground and people to work," read the letter, published by Punchbowl News.
The $1 trillion infrastructure bill was a major victory for President Joe Biden, who campaigned in part on fixing America's aging roads and bridges, crumbling public transit and other essentials, like protections from climate change. It won over nearly 20 Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) by a vote of 69-30.
The bill now faces the House. But Pelosi has said that she will not allow it to pass until the Senate OKs a sweeping budget package that would strengthen the country's social safety net, funding child care, health care, public education and climate resiliency.
"There ain't gonna be no bipartisan bill, unless we have a reconciliation bill," Pelosi said in June. "As I said, there won't be an infrastructure bill, unless we have a reconciliation bill. Plain and simple."
Democrats plan to advance that massive $3.5 trillion plan through budget reconciliation, a process which allows the Senate to avoid a filibuster and pass spending measures with a simple majority. While the Senate passed along party lines a plan for moving forward with the package, it will likely not be ready until the fall.
Progressives sent a letter to Pelosi earlier this week stating that most of their nearly 100 members would withhold support for the bipartisan bill until the larger spending plan is secure.
Meanwhile, the moderates' letter, dated Thursday, heaped praise on the bipartisan infrastructure package, saying it will “help us compete with China and others in the global economy.”
“We urge our House colleagues to follow the same path as the Senate: vote first on the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and then consider the budget resolution,” they said.
Signees included Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Carolyn Bourdeaux (D-GA), Filemon Vela (D-TX), Jared Golden (D-ME), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), Ed Case (D-HI), Jim Costa (D-CA) and Kurt Schrader (D-OR).
