Pelosi expects agreement on Biden agenda by Friday #Pelosi #Biden #Democrats Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi thinks Democrats can meet a goal to reach an agreement on President Joe Biden’s social services and climate change package by the end of the week. “We have a goal. We have a timetable. We have milestones, and we’ve met them all,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. “It will pass soon,” she predicted. In an abrupt change, the White House is floating new plans to pay for parts of President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion social services and climate change package, shelving a proposed big increase in corporate tax rates though also adding a new billionaires’ tax on the investment gains of the very richest Americans.
