The action comes as Democrats rush to strike a deal between progressives and moderates on Biden’s agenda. Providing workers with as much as 12 weeks of family leave was a key component of Biden’s plan and one that was among the central goals of progressive Democrats. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat, was working to broker a compromise with Manchin, a moderate from West Virginia who has said he didn’t want to create a new entitlement program. She said she would continue to fight to include paid leave in the tax and spending proposal with as much as $2 trillion in new spending on social and climate programs. Gillibrand said she spoke to Manchin on the Senate floor about a pared-down alternative and he promised to keep considering the matter. Manchin only hours before had questioned further expanding social programs when crucial federal programs like Social Security and Medicare aren’t solvent. “I presented my idea, he is researching what other countries do, he is looking into the details and he said he would remain open-minded,” Gillibrand said. “It’s not over until it’s over.” *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
