A sweeping, roughly $250 billion proposal to bolster US competitiveness with China has moved to the top of the administration's legislative agenda
A sweeping, roughly $250 billion proposal to bolster US competitiveness with China has moved to the top of their legislative agenda, carrying policy and political benefits that tie directly to some of the most pressing issues President Joe Biden's administration faces. "We have momentum now, there's no doubt about it -- you can feel it," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, one of the administration's point people on the bill, told CNN in an interview.
"It's China, it's national security, it's inflation, it's manufacturing, it's bipartisan," one Democratic lawmaker who has pushed to move the bill for several months told CNN."Beyond the policy necessity, it's the sweetest of political sweet spots." That a single bill could directly address some of the most significant issues facing the country is not lost on a White House -- or frontline House Democrats -- looking for a win.
