Biden and やすりを削る人/削る機械s, once 競争相手s, are now partners in 力/強力にする
WASHINGTON (AP) - Talkers both, Joe Biden and Bernie やすりを削る人/削る機械s stayed for an hour in the Oval Office, just two former 競争相手s for the White House now 事実上の/代理 as 可能性のある partners, 交渉するing a 妥協 both could live with.
The 中道派(の) 大統領,/社長 listened as the 自由主義の 上院議員 spoke. やすりを削る人/削る機械s passionately made his 事例/患者 that Biden´s big 組織/基盤/下部構造 投資 should go even bigger - and 含む his own longtime goal of dental, 審理,公聴会 and 見通し 利益s for older Americans on Medicare. The 大統領,/社長 gave his 十分な 支援, によれば a 上級の White House 補佐官 and another person familiar with the 私的な 開会/開廷/会期, who spoke on 条件 of anonymity to 述べる a 私的な 会合.
The 取引,協定 was the 製品 of 相互の 信用 and ありふれた 利益/興味 - 顕著に to help the working class, but also to show that 政府 can work and perhaps to 回復する some 約束 in 僕主主義 after the 騒然とした Trump 時代.
"We are making 進歩 in moving 今後 with the most consequential piece of 法律制定 passed for working people since the 1930s," やすりを削る人/削る機械s told The Associated 圧力(をかける) a few days later, as Biden made his way to (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂 Hill to 決起大会/結集させる 上院議員s on the 計画(する).
Theirs is an ありそうもない yet 理解できる 共同, a 大統領,/社長 who won over American 投票者s with a calmly 安心させるing nod to 伝統的な 治める/統治するing, and a democratic 社会主義者 上院議員 who twice (機の)カム の近くに to winning the 大統領の 指名/任命 with what was once 見解(をとる)d as a wildly idealistic 協議事項. やすりを削る人/削る機械s is now 議長,司会を務める of the 上院 予算 委員会.
Together, they are trying to 部隊 the political 派閥s of 進歩/革新的なs and 中道派(の)s in the sprawling Democratic Party, which 支配(する)/統制するs 議会 by only the narrowest of 利ざやs in the House and a 50-50 上院, with no 投票(する)s to spare around the 大統領,/社長´s $3.5 一兆 国家の 再構築するing 提案.

In their sights is a 法律を制定する feat on par with Franklin Roosevelt's New 取引,協定 or Lyndon Johnson's 広大な/多数の/重要な Society. For two political leaders in the twilight of decadeslong careers, it is the chance of a lifetime and the stuff of 遺産/遺物s.
"We're going to get this done," Biden said Wednesday as he entered the 私的な lunch room at the (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂.
Biden encouraged the 上院議員s to think of the good they could do for people across America, 投資するing in places like Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he was born, who feel that the party is not in touch with working people´s 苦痛.
The 大統領,/社長 gave a nod to やすりを削る人/削る機械s, who 公式文書,認めるd their past 競争 and yet spoke with 類似の 緊急 about the moment before them - how the 未来 of 僕主主義 残り/休憩(する)s with how 井戸/弁護士席 they can connect with people who feel the 政府 has forgotten them.
When it (機の)カム time for 上院 大多数 Leader Chuck Schumer to call on 上院議員s who had raised their 手渡すs to speak, there were no pointed questions or 反対s, only enthusiasm, によれば a person in the room who spoke on 条件 of anonymity to discuss the 私的な 会合.
上院議員s 現れるd enthralled by the 可能性 of doing something big for the country.
"Truly transformative," Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., said, using a word both Biden and やすりを削る人/削る機械s now 株.
The 関係 between Biden and やすりを削る人/削る機械s goes 支援する years, the pre sident having already spent 10年間s in the 上院 by the time the Vermont 国会議員 was elected in 2006.
While Biden was the ultimate 上院議員's 上院議員, やすりを削る人/削る機械s has always been an 部外者 on (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂 Hill, a 宣言するd 独立した・無所属, rather than member of the Democratic Party, with his rumpled 控訴s, gruff demeanor and unrelenting 焦点(を合わせる) on 自由主義の 原因(となる)s.
Ask やすりを削る人/削る機械s any question, on almost any topic, and his answers are almost always the same - it´s time for the 政府 to stop catering to the rich and powerful and instead 焦点(を合わせる) on the working people of this country.
Once seen as outlandish, やすりを削る人/削る機械s' 見解(をとる)s have captivated millions of Americans who filled 円形競技場s to hear him speak, 特に after the 広大な/多数の/重要な 後退,不況 and まっただ中に a growing 認識/意識性 of the nation's gaping 不平等. He almost won the party´s 大統領の 指名/任命 in 2016, but was 敗北・負かすd by Hillary Clinton, and again in 2020, before he lost to Biden.
In returning to the 上院, やすりを削る人/削る機械s quickly became a 焦点の point of 共和国の/共和党のs …に反対するd to Biden´s 協議事項. The 大統領,/社長 ーするつもりであるs to 財政/金融 his 計画(する) with 税金 引き上げ(る)s on 会社/団体s and Americans making more than $400,000 a year. 共和国の/共和党のs see やすりを削る人/削る機械s as an influencer, と一緒に Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other 目だつ 進歩/革新的なs, 押し進めるing the 大統領,/社長 to 自由主義の extremes.
"The 大統領,/社長 may have won the 指名/任命, but Bernie やすりを削る人/削る機械s won the argument," 上院 共和国の/共和党の leader Mitch McConnell said recently 支援する home in Kentucky, on the same day he said he was "100% 焦点(を合わせる)d" on stopping Biden´s 協議事項.
But in developing the 投資 一括 with the 大統領,/社長, やすりを削る人/削る機械s showed another 味方する of his 技術 始める,決める: that of a pragmatic 立法議員.
Word 循環させるd Monday that the two were 密談する/(身体を)寄せ集めるd in the Oval Office, a 重要な moment as 民主党員s were struggling to build 合意. Biden´s 職業s and families 計画(する)s total more than $4 一兆 in 伝統的な public 作品 and human 組織/基盤/下部構造 投資s. やすりを削る人/削る機械s had 現在のd a bolder $6 tr illion 提案.
やすりを削る人/削る機械s had been imploring his 同僚s not to 焦点(を合わせる) on price tags but rather on 優先s - helping the middle class, fighting 気候 change, 補佐官ing older adults. He had also been 主張するing that the 豊富な and large 会社/団体s 支払う/賃金 their fair 株 in 税金s. It is the same argument inside the rooms as it is in the 円形競技場s, 上院議員s say.
"The 会合 was 事実, warm, and friendly - which also 述べるs the nature of their 関係 going 支援する years," said White House 副 圧力(をかける) 長官 Andrew Bates. The 大統領,/社長 values his 技術d leadership, he said.
A bipartisan group of 上院議員s is 収集するing a slimmer $1 一兆 一括 of roads and other public 作品 spending.
But with 共和国の/共和党のs …に反対するd in lockstep to Biden´s broader 提案, 民主党員s are 圧力(をかける)ing ahead on the more 強健な 一括 they could pass on their own, under special 予算 支配するs of 51 投票(する)s for passage rather than the 60 typically needed to 打ち勝つ 反対s from a filibuster.
If Biden, やすりを削る人/削る機械s and Schumer can keep all 50 Democratic 上院議員s 部隊d, 副大統領 Kamala Harris can cast a tiebreaking 投票(する). Democratic (衆議院の)議長 Nancy Pelosi has a 類似して わずかな/ほっそりした 利ざや in the House.
Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, a 中道派(の) Montana 農業者, is not yet supporting the 大統領,/社長's broader 計画(する), but said やすりを削る人/削る機械s often 支持するs for things that are "ありふれた sense."
While 認めるing that やすりを削る人/削る機械s いつかs 押し進めるs the envelope その上の than he's comfortable with, Tester said, "He's trying to make it so the little guy's got a 発射, which is, you know, what 民主党員s are for - at least that´s what I´m for. I want to make sure the little guy has a 発射."
