Democrats Look to Biden to Resolve Impasse

Associated Press: “Democratic leaders are counting on the president to galvanize consensus between progressives and centrists in their party…”

“At one point, Biden told the lawmakers there were plenty of conference rooms at the White House they could use to hunker down this weekend as some suggested they roll up their sleeves and stay to get final details done.”

New York Times: “The path is exceedingly murky as Democrats careen toward a tangle of fiscal and political deadlines with no discernible public strategy in place, but party leaders remained publicly sanguine on Wednesday.”

It’s fascinating that Biden still won’t say what he wants the top line number to be. Without that, it’s hard to see a deal coming together soon.
