Summary

Despite encouragement from the President, House Democrats fell short this week again in getting enough votes to pass President Biden's now $1.75-trillion Build Back Better bill. Progressives are frustrated with what was cut from the original $3.5 trillion social package. With both the spending bill and bipartisan infrastructure bill still in limbo what does the path to the bills passing look like? Jared and FOX News Congressional Correspondent, Chad Pergram break down what happened this week and what comes next. Democrats' ongoing infighting over the spending bill isn't only impacting Americans but the delay in passing the legislation into law, denies the President a victory to bring with him to show off at the G20 summit with leaders of the world's biggest economies. Jared and FOX News Radio's Foreign Correspondent Simon Owen discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
