As reported by MSNBC Reports today, Senate President Chuck Schumer spoke about a Senate Democratic Caucus meeting last night, saying, “we are not giving up on BBB. Period. We won’t stop working until we pass a bill.”

Senator Schumer said, “…we had a caucus meeting – Zoom – last night where just about everyone participated, and there was universal feeling that we are not giving up; that we are continuing the fight on two major fronts, both of which we need very badly. One, of course, is Build Back Better. And Joe Manchin was on the phone, and lots of our members made pleas to him to continue and negotiate, and he agreed to do that.”
