Joe Biden Begs for $2.2 Trillion in Entitlement Spending After Moderates Reject $3.5 Trillion Proposal

President Joe Biden floated a new price tag for his proposed entitlement spending agenda, as Senate moderates continue to signal opposition to his multitrillion-dollar proposal.

Biden is now asking for a bill that spends $1.9 to $2.2 trillion, according to reportssurrounding a video conference the president had with Democrat leftists in the House led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

It remains unclear whether Democrat Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) will support Biden’s new proposal. Sinema has not detailed a top-line figure for the entitlement spending bill. Manchin has floated a $1.5 trillion measure, a price that remains dramatically lower than the Democrat leftists want.

“That’s not going to happen,” Jayapal said Sunday about the $1.5 trillion proposal.
