Bernie Sanders skeptical of Biden spending outline

Sen. Bernie Sanders isn’t happy with President Joe Biden’s spending outline, though he’s not pledging to vote against it.

The socialist independent senator, who caucuses with Senate Democrats, said Thursday after the White House outlined a framework for a $1.75 trillion deal on its social spending package that the deal could be “better.” Sanders, a two-time Democratic presidential candidate and avatar of its far-left flank, also said the House shouldn’t vote on a bipartisan infrastructure bill until they have a commitment from all 50 Senate Democrats to support the social spending bill that makes up key portions of Biden’s domestic agenda.
