this is how it works. you have different factions in the democratic party staking out the positions. they are fighting for the things they think are the most important, and because of the numbers, because of the fact that joe biden really doesn t have 50 votes that he can count on of people that all think exactly the same way, he s having to navigate a lot of different people who have different constituencies and different concerns. and so that s what he s facing, but i think they re going to figure it out, because if they don t figure it out, it really would be disastrous. kirsten, i knew you were having trouble because i didn t think you would be on with your commercial break glasses, as i call them. no. i wasn t hearing the show. i heard nothing, then all of a sudden i heard, you re on camera, and i m like, awesome. thank you, kirsten, thank you, evan. i appreciate it. joining me now is valerie jared, the former senior advisor to president barack obama.
valerie, thank you so much. the former president is weighing in on biden s spending plan. he s saying the wealthiest americans can afford to pay more to fund it. this is what he told good morning america s robin ro roberts. i think they can afford it. i think we can afford it. i put myself in this category now. for anyone who thinks it s a hardship for billionaires to pay a little more so moms get child support, or we can make sure our communities aren t indundated b fires and floods and that we re doing something for climate change in the next generation, that s something that s sustainable. president biden has not been able to secure an agreement for all democrats. do you think he ll be able to get this over the finish line? i sure hope so, don. good evening.
