Punchbowl News: “Biden reiterated that he is seeking a bill between $1.9 trillion and $2.2 trillion. Biden repeatedly used $2 trillion ‘as shorthand’ for the topline number. Sources involved in the meeting said the ‘realistic target’ is somewhere in the $1.75 trillion to $1.95 trillion range.”
“Biden presided over the meeting, and said he wanted a vote on the $1 trillion infrastructure bill and a ‘public agreement’ from Democrats on the contours of the reconciliation package before he travels abroad to Italy and Scotland on Oct. 30. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has set a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill by Oct. 31.”
