Podesta Warns Democrats to Scale Back $3.5 Trillion Bill

“John Podesta, a former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and an influential figure among Democrats in Washington, called on lawmakers in his party on Wednesday to pare back a proposed $3.5 trillion social policy plan that carries much of President Biden’s domestic agenda,” the New York Times reports.

“If they do not, he warned, they risk failure to pass the legislation — and the loss of their congressional majorities next year.”
