Democrats are scrambling to get their priorities included in President Biden
Biden is expected to outline a package called the American Families Plan during a speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. The package will focus on human infrastructure, such as child care and education.
The president sees the package as a way to help families get on a stronger footing than they were prior to the pandemic. But a number of Democrats want to go well beyond what Biden is expected to propose, including in areas such as tax credits for families, unemployment insurance and health care.
