After Biden meeting, Pelosi calls spending bill deal within sight

Upon her return to Capitol Hill from a meeting at the White House on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters that a deal was within reach on congressional Democrats’ sweeping social spending package.

Pelosi met with President Joe Biden on Friday, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer joining them virtually, as Democrats seek an agreement on the spending package that comprises key portions of the president’s domestic agenda. Congressional Democrats have thus far failed to reach an agreement between their liberal and centrist members.
