Corporate Tax Hike Gets a Thumbs-Up in Poll: Stimulus Update
- Check here for updates on Biden’s $2.25 trillion plan
- White House package spans infrastructure to elderly care
A new poll showed a majority of Americans support President Joe Biden’s $2.25 trillion infrastructure and spending plan -- if it’s funded by higher taxes on corporations. A senior Republican said a group of senators is in the “early stages” of discussing a potential counterproposal that would be more narrowly focused and less expensive.
The administration on Wednesday continues its outreach to build support for Biden’s “American Jobs Plan.” White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain and Biden counselor Steve Ricchetti will meet with members of a bipartisan group of House lawmakers to discuss how to accomplish the president’s objectives. The 3 p.m. meeting with the Problem Solvers group follows Biden’s Oval Office confab with bipartisan legislators Monday.
