of the entire caucus right now, this lawmakers said that biden told her keep hope alive and as i was talking to members of both moderate caucuses and progressive caucuses it s clear that there is an optimism here, a reenergizing from hearing from the president himself. that s not to say that there aren t moderates who are upset. congresswoman stephanie murphy for example continuing to reiterate that in her view these bills are delinked and that she s only going to consider each on their own merits. at the same time, though, what i ve heard from progressives is that they feel bolstered by the fact that they have been clear in their demands from the beginning, that they want to have reconciliation in tandem with the bipartisan infrastructure bill and as they huddled tonight and i caught up with them after, what they re doing now is figuring out the policy piece of this. not the price tag, and that s the focus for them. the shifting this conversation away from whether it s $2 trillion or
