WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Wednesday that paid family and medical leave is back in the massive social safety net spending package, but its inclusion in the final draft hinges on support from Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a key centrist.
The proposal will include four weeks of paid leave, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. The sources asked for anonymity to discuss negotiations."That's a challenge, very much of a challenge. And they know how I feel about that," he told reporters. The proposal was dropped from the package last week when Manchin raised objections. He indicated to reporters at the time that he didn't think the spending measure, known as the reconciliation bill, should be used to pass a significant policy proposal like paid leave.
😂😂😂 Yeah, that’s the ticket. That’s why they are losing. Bravo.
I guess they didn't understand the memo. We do not like the left wing agenda. We also do not the right wing agenda. Until one of these parties understand that we want common sense. It will continue to be back and forth elections.
'On heels of a disappointing Election Day'...not even hiding your bias anymore NBC?
WOW, The Democrats are at it again, Giving away money for people doing nothing, That is the Story of the Biden Administration
