Washington Senate Democrats will try to negotiate with moderate Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to address their disagreements on the size and scope of President Joe Biden's economic package as it heads to the chamber, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.
"The House did a very strong bill. Everyone knows that Manchin and Sinema have their concerns, but we're going to try to negotiate with them and get a very strong, bold bill out of the Senate which will then go back to the House and pass," Schumer, a New York Democrat, said during a news briefing, stressing the importance of party unity.
