return to washington late tonight and that s going to be the focus these next couple days back in d.c. and can he deliver. we heard from congresswoman jayapal that president biden needs the get manchin on board in order to bring these things to a vote or the longer it goes, the more chance it has all of democrats. . he made a deal with joe biden and he didn t want to move, biden was at a 2. they took hands-on a $1.75 trillion deal. manchin said last week, we got to write this all out. no, i am not going to agree with everything progressives want. a lot of thing that is progressives want are bad more
we have to work out some of the details of legislative language and i think that s likely going to be done next week with votes beginning in the senate the following week. i think there is a deal when president biden put a statement last week and mentioned manchin and sinema in the first paragraph, that tells everybody they re on board. of course they want to see the language and they may have a couple of details they want to put out. we have a framework to pass the infrastructure bill that we passed months ago and the combine effect of this is going to be great at a time the nation still needs an economic boost and work force training as we are coming hopefully near the end of this horrible pandemic era. yeah. so, tim, senator tim kaine,

would like to schedule a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure proposal. they want to see a text that can be voted on, not just a framework. they want to see the tangibles of what this plan is going to look like. the head of the progressive caucus had said that having the president come and ask for them to vote for the bill wasn t going to necessarily get her members onboard. we ll see what kind of heavy lift the president might have ahead for him, as he is meeting with the house democrats. he could be that meeting is supposed to be around 9:00 a.m. we don t have a time when he would be leaving for rome. the white house said he can delay a little bit. he has an important meeting with the pope starting on friday. the white house is acting with a real sense of surgecy, talking to those two key holdout senators, manchin and cinema. and trying to take in the
