White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had good news for Democrats who want to see a deal reached on President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, telling MSNBC that a meeting with Joe Manchin put an “extra pep in [Biden’s] step” this weekend.
Biden met with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the West Virginia Democrat for breakfast in Delaware on Sunday morning “for what was a productive discussion about the Build Back Better Agenda, including equipping Americans to get back to work and making our economy deliver for the middle class — not just those at the top,” according to a White House statement.
On Tuesday morning’s edition of Way Too Early, host Jonathan Lemire asked Psaki about that meeting, and the status of negotiations around a pair of bills that all of Washington, DC is watching.
