DC Media: Biden WH Lacks ‘Leverage’ in Spending Talks, Latest Ultimatum ‘Doesn’t Mean a Whole Lot’

Wendell Husebø 15 Oct 2021

The White House on Thursday has reportedly pleaded with “moderates” and the far-left to urgently come to a compromise on the $3.5 trillion reconciliation standoff before the Biden-Harris administration call it quits.

Punchbowl News reported the Biden-Harris administration leaked their frustration to the media “as a warning shot to Democratic moderates and progressives on Capitol Hill bickering over the multi-trillion dollar legislation.”

The source told Punchbowl the White House is demanding a compromise on the reconciliation package so President Biden can sign the measure “ASAP.”

“It’s not like the White House has enormous leverage here,” Punchbowl notes about the demands to end the negotiations. “The White House saying they’re done doesn’t mean a whole lot.”

The note from the reported source reads as follows:

Quote
The White House feels that serious progress has been made and that members representing each viewpoint are operating in good faith, but that the time for negotiations is nearing an end because there is an urgency to pass both components of the President’s economic plans for the middle class and that now, because of the needs of families, is the time to be decisive and get down to brass tacks.

The White House wants to make clear that soon it will be time for negotiations to conclude so we can move forward with both plans. The President is ready to get this done – as is the country.
