CAN THE Q STAY BLUE? It might be the off year, but both parties are ready to turn today’s special election in New Mexico into a preview of next fall’s grueling battle to control the House.
According to one Senate GOP aide, the latest proposal, after initially beginning at $568 billion last month, is expected to be the group’s last bid, with senators in recent days arguing that it will include almost every item that Biden indicated would be needed for him to come on board.
“This is the ceiling,” the aide told the Morning Report. “This is a really good, really solid offer. We could pass the bill tomorrow. … If [Biden] turns this down, he’s doing what he’s done consistently so far. He’s running to the left to his $2 trillion-plus bill, which has a lot more for liberal priorities than anything resembling roads and bridges.”

“She said to me, and I’ll never forget it, ‘Daddy changed the world,’” the president said just weeks ago.
“I told her this afternoon, ‘Daddy did change the world.’ … Let that be his legacy” (NBC’s “Today”).
A year after Floyd was killed, the president today will meet privately in the Oval Office with Floyd’s relatives following months of entreaties to the nation and Congress to take action to deliver change. But as The Hill’s Marty Johnson reports, aspirations for racial equality and reforms inside U.S. police departments are proving difficult to deliver.
