'We can bring the moderates and progressives together very easily if we had two more votes. Two,' the president said.
"We can bring the moderates and progressives together very easily if we had two more votes. Two. Two people," Biden told reporters, taking a veiled jab at key holdouts Manchin and Sinema.
Manchin and Sinema refused to support the size and scope of the larger package, and progressives rebelled, saying they would not vote for the infrastructure bill unless it's passed in tandem with the spending package. "It doesn't matter when. It doesn't matter whether it's in six minutes, six days or six weeks. We're going to get it done," the president said.
After the closed-door meeting, Representative Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said Biden"was very clear that we need to get both bills done."
