plan, which i think is the most progressive bill of our lifetime. and by thinking people like me who could actually win, picking someone like president biden who could actually win, we made that progress in real life, and i think our party is really attuned to that because living through the trump years, people were reminded of how important it is to pick candidates who can really go the distance in the general election. people are just really counting ones to get to the senate and cast all these important votes and get things done, and i find there s a lot of support for our campaign for that reason, not because i fit into some sort of box that, you know, the media has created. no offense to you, of course. no offense to me, of course, congressman. thank you. and thanks for taking time to join us outside that bar, or is it campaign headquarters with just a bar entrance decor behind you? which one is it? you know, this is pennsylvania, so we campaign in bars sometimes. that is wher
once again going to make a decision about who is most likely to win the general election. and that s it. given what s on the line with january 6th, voting rights, a woman s right to choose. all the issues that are headline issues in 2022. i think it s going to be similar to 2020 when our party picked biden over competitors who might have been more popular on social media but didn t have the same chance of beating trump and when we nominated congressional candidates who are veterans, moderates and pillars of their community who stood the best likelihood of winning the election and delivering us the majority. the key for our party is to realize that formula has delivered us some of the most progressive american legislation in american history already. without even getting to build back better, just the rescue plan alone is such a progressive bill and it is the law. and it really did help a lot of people for the last year. and so continuing to make decisions like that, offers us a real pa
don t get it done. they say we ll get this done in january or maybe before the end of the full biden first year as president, but listen now, people are so frustrated. two of joe manchin s democratic colleagues who have just had enough. that s where he s at. this is why you have a 50-50 split senate you can one person or two people just stop everything, and that is why people in our country should know that a 50-50 senate sucks and we can t get things done. we need to get this done. we have talked. we have talked. we have talked. it s time to put it on the floor and vote. so what? i mean, this was, again, the calling card of this president i m not dry. know how government works. i will make it work for you. so far. well, so far american rescue plan act, so far bipartisan infrastructure, i mean, there have been significant legislative achievements under this president. what i think is interesting now is he s really lengthening the progressive bill of grievances against the democ
accusing a top chinese official after sexual assault. the head of the women s tennis association tonight demanding an investigation. he s my guest. let s go outfront. good evening, i m erin burnett. outfront tonight the breaking news. president biden s team meeting with key moderate democrats tonight trying to lock in the votes for their progressive bill to pass the house of representatives tonight. tonight finally passing the house this evening. their build back better act, finally. any moment now the house is expected to hold a procedural vote which would advance the so-called build back better act. for months of course democrats have been at a standstill over this bill, months. moderates most recently demanded a budget analysis by the cbo, the congressional budget office. tonight they have it. that report just came out late today. it found that the build back better act would add $367 billion to the deficit. now, that assumes there s no benefit from spending more money on the irs
that money wasn t even spent in this yet democrats spent 1.9 trillion on covid relief and want to spend 1.2 trillion on infrastructure and 3.5 trillion on this progressive bill, green new deal spending and give redistribution that will be $5 trillion. we are talking $8 trillion this year alone, this is insanity. on the infrastructure bill, only half is for infrastructure and because it s reform the way we do the process, you won t go for ten years. ten years from now. three and a half trillion is the human infrastructure and we are living in an environment of massive inflation right now, spending more will not help it but i want to switch gears because when we talk about nancy pelosi, she s been doing this forever and even though she might have lost a little credibility, she s got confidence in herself. the master legislature, strategic astute leader, my
