Biden Agenda's Vote Timeline in Question as Sanders Weighs In
(Bloomberg) -- Senator Bernie Sanders said he favors crafting a deal among senators on what to include in President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion package of social benefits and taxes before putting it to a vote in the House.
With House Democratic leaders envisaging a floor votes on the bill and an infrastructure measure as soon as Tuesday, Sanders’ comments on Sunday signaled the latest effort to put pressure on Senate holdouts Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to back the policy framework that Biden presented last week.
“I think there has got to be a framework agreed upon in the Senate that all of us know is going to be implemented before the members of the House vote,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“You don’t have to have all of the legislative language, but you have to have a statement which says A, B, C, D and E is going to be in the package and 50 members of the Senate are supporting it,” he said.
