President Joe Biden planned to make it clear to progressives Monday that the final reconciliation bill will be smaller than the original $3.5 trillion proposal, according to the White House.
Press secretary Jen Psaki said the virtual meeting was scheduled for Monday afternoon “in order to have a discussion about the path forward, which includes the recognition that this package is going to be smaller than originally proposed.”
“What he wants to hear from them is what their priorities are, what their bottom lines are so he can play a constructive role in moving things forward,” she said.
