Description
Congress returns from a two-week recess facing the same unresolved
issues that have plagued lawmakers for months. Lawmakers left town
unable to pass a bipartisan deal to provide the administration with $10
billion in pandemic relief money and there’s still no immediate solution
in sight. The White House announced another $800 million tranche of
Ukraine aid last week, but says it needs Congress to allocate more funds
ASAP.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and White House officials have been
exchanging niceties in recent weeks, strong signals that they’re willing
to re-engage on a smaller social-spending package months after Build
Back Better was left for dead.
