sources saying he will unveil a framework this morning on the sweeping welfare expansion that he ran for president on. the president hopes this announcement will trigger a vote on that long-delayed already passed in the senate infrastructure bill that he would love to get through before he goes on the trip. bill: massively complicated. far left democrats held up the legislation on that for months. some like aoc said they won t vote on that bill until they see a text of the social welfare bill we described. there is no text. he is only giving them a promise to get it done later. his goal is to convince the progressives that he can get the human infrastructure through without the two senators torpedoing the plan. top line costs now said to be between 1.75 and 1.9. who is counting? there is no text or information how to pay for it. what s in and what s out seems to be changing by the hour. team fox coverage this morning. marc thiessen joins us with his reaction and chad
