Democrats will be cutting paid family and medical leave from Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” spending package.
This is a key component of Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion bill.
Biden has been promising paid family leave in all of his speeches promoting his “Build Back Broke Better” agenda.
Democrats control both chambers of Congress and they still can’t deliver on Biden’s legislative agenda.
NBC News reported:
Democrats are dropping family and medical paid leave from President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better spending package, multiple sources confirmed to NBC News, as the party feverishly works to narrow down the bill and secure an agreement.
The move comes after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a key centrist, raised objections to including guaranteed paid leave in the social safety net spending bill. Its removal deals a blow to Democrats who viewed the proposal as a key component of Biden’s legislative agenda.
Some lawmakers have said they will ramp up efforts to get paid leave back in the bill, but Democrats will need the support of all 50 Democratic senators to pass the measure.
Today is not a good day for Joe Biden.
- Paid family and medical leave is DOA
- IRS bank snooping is DOA
- Democrats’ billionaire tax proposal is in chaos
