Lawmakers, aides and lobbyists say Sanders is running into resistance from moderates and will be lucky to come close to even Biden’s $4 trillion. And while moderates and progressives have generally refrained from sniping and publicly drawing lines in the sand, they re not bashful about voicing their views.
Among centrists, Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., has said he ll oppose his party s budget and subsequent progressive-backed legislation financing programs aimed at families, telling the Capitol Hill publication Roll Call that s he s concerned about excessive spending. Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., a leader of the House s bipartisan Problem Solvers group, calls Sanders $6 trillion “very aggressive.” And Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., a leader of the moderate New Democrat Coalition, said he wants to help families and businesses without building castles in the sky.
