Biden hails domestic policy victory before heading abroad

Al Jazeera  

Biden unveiled a pared down social services package he says will unite the party, before departing for G20, COP26. Biden’s declaration that the new package has the votes needed to pass represented a domestic victory shortly before he departs for a G20 leaders summit in Italy and the United Nations COP26 climate forum in Scotland, where he is expected to push a global version of his so-called “Build Back Better” agenda. “This framework will make the most significant investment in climate ever,” Biden said, adding it would set the stage for the US to reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent in the next decade. Representative Kevin McCarthy, the top House Republican, said in a tweet, “the more the American people learn about Democrat’s Socialist Spending Scam, the less they like it.” Republican Representative Majorie Taylor Greene, a right-wing acolyte of former President Donald Trump, called the deal a scam. — Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 October 28, 2021 Leading progressive legislator, US Senator Bernie Sanders, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, praised the deal as “probably the most consequential bill since the 1960s in terms of protecting the needs of working families, the elderly, the sick and the poor”.
