Good morning, Playbookers. I'm Rugu Mona Vollen. It's Friday, and this is your Politico Playbook Daily Briefing.

Taking questions at a live town hall in Baltimore, Biden got into the nitty-gritty of the reconciliation negotiations.

Speaking about his mix of frustration and respect for Senators

Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema with surprising candor.

He also made some news about the particulars of the bill at this point in time.

In but not reduced, paid family leave.

Said Biden, it is down to four weeks.

We can't get 12 weeks.

Inba details to be decided, the child tax credit.

Biden announced his opposition to a work requirement, despite Mention's support of one,

and stated that middle-class families will not have to pay more than 7% of their income on child care.

Likely out, Medicare coverage of dental vision and hearing.

Biden said he believed that Mention and cinema opposed its inclusion. As a compromise,

he suggested an $800 voucher for dental care. Sounds like it's out, tax increases on corporations

and wealthy Americans. He penned some of the blame here on cinema. Quote, she will not raise a single

penny in taxes on the corporate side or on wealthy people, period.

And so, that's where it sort of breaks down.

And out, tuition-free community college.

Biden cited opposition from Mansion and one other person, we're guessing cinema, is the reason why.

Still, he vowed to get it done, perhaps, by expanding Pell Grants.

Quote, I guarantee you, we're going to get free community college in the next several years.
