Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) told NBC News the Democratic negotiations for a social spending plan are “completely taking the air out of the balloon for the Biden presidency.”
He added: “It’s hurting Biden. It’s hurting the Democrats. It’s undermining the vision of all the accomplishments we will have as being highly significant. The frustration is people’s heads are blowing off. And they should be. It has to come to an end. I don’t know if soap opera or a nightmare soap opera is the right wording, but we’re in big trouble right now with this extended, getting nowhere negotiation.”
