Link to Full Story: Biden’s big agenda is imperiled as his priorities stall in Congress and a debt fight looms
"Biden’s big agenda is imperiled as his priorities stall in Congress and a debt fight looms
So far, senior White House officials and Democratic leaders have let the bipartisan discussions proceed without much interference from them, empowering rank-and-file lawmakers to hammer out significant compromises on guns, policing and immigration that could help define Biden’s legacy. But it’s unclear how much more of a legislative window they have, because they soon face a fiscal crunch, including an expiration of the debt limit this summer, which will probably consume Washington with partisan battles over federal spending.
Impatience is starting to mount, particularly among Democrats in the House, who are staring down challenging political and structural head winds ahead of next year’s midterm elections and are eager to sell their accomplishments to voters. These Democrats are also skeptical that there is any real appetite from Republicans to carry out bipartisan accomplishments after most GOP lawmakers rejected a commission — negotiated by one of their own — to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol."
Sorry Joe, I hope you enjoyed it but it looks like the honeymoon is coming to end, time for the circus to begin.
Now we get to see if Uncle Joe has the stones to stand up to the progressive dingbats in his own party and effectively "reach across the aisle" but given the Republican reticence to do anything but oppose every word that comes out his mouth I have serious doubts as the whether he's going to meet even half of the goals he's claimed he wants to achieve. You reap what you sow partisans, welcome back to GRID LOCK, intra-party bickering and probably a drubbing in his first mid-terms.
Oh well, at least grid lock suppresses the urges of our boys & girls in Washington to make things worse.
