Pelosi ‘very confident’ Democrats will reach deal to salvage Biden agenda

Democratic infighting has threatened to upend Biden's ambitious domestic agenda less than a year after taking office

House speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed confidence on Sunday that a deal between Democrats to salvage Joe Biden's ambitious social agenda was pretty much there", paving the way for a possible vote in Congress later this week.

Her upbeat words came as the president was meeting in Delaware with the Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic holdout Joe Manchin to put the finishing touches on what has become a scaled-back package central to Biden's Build Back Better initiative.
