As The Hill’s Brett Samuels points out, the White House’s series of meetings comes as it puts pressure on lawmakers by laying out self-imposed deadlines for actions, specifically on immigration and policing reform. Biden has maintained that he wants a deal in an infrastructure package by Memorial Day. He also told a joint session of Congress two weeks ago that he hopes to sign a policing bill into law by May 25 the anniversary of
George Floyd’s death.
A bipartisan deal is possible, but it s highly unlikely to pass the House and Senate during the next few weeks.

Coronavirus vaccine booster doses will be free to the public, a top US health official said Tuesday (May 11). The government,
David Kessler, Chief Science Officer for the White House COVID-19 Response Team, said has the funds to cover the cost of a third shot, if they’re needed.
“We are planning, and I underscore the word planning, to have booster doses available if necessary for the American people,” Kessler said during a hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committee.
“We do have the funds to purchase the next round, if they are necessary. So we will be able to purchase the next round to ensure if there are boosters, they are free, just like the last round,” he added.
