President Joe Biden will mark the $ 1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan tour in the Rose Garden on Friday afternoon.
The White House has invited 22 Democratic lawmakers – the leadership and chairs of the relevant committees – to join the festival, but no Republican will be present, as no GOP member of Congress has crossed the corridor. to vote for the large COVID-19 relief package. .
Several Republicans at the state level were supportive of the package, but the White House has maintained strict COVID-19 protocols, so the footprint of the brand is still small.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday morning on ‘Good Morning America’ that Biden will continue to try to be a Republican, telling George Stephanopoulos, ‘the door to the Oval Office is still open. ‘

Psaki said she believed a Republican would be willing to work with the Democratic White House on an infrastructure package and ‘modernize our immigration system. ‘
Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, GOP lawmakers are already setting their sights on bringing back the majority of the House next year using the immigrants. at the southern border to beat the White House on Biden immigration policy.
‘He hopes to be joined by a Republican,’ Psaki said.
She also accepted criticism of the legislation from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said Democrats had seen a rising tide, so the $ 1.9 trillion rescue plan would not have to be that big.
‘Sen. Mitch McConnell and other Republicans are very out of this because you noticed that the majority of Americans support this package, mostly Republicans, ‘Psaki replied. ‘So hopefully there will be a moment of self-reflection for some members to vote against it.’
Senate Visiting Leader Chuck Schumer, who appeared on ‘Morning Joe,’ was in response to Psaki’s sentiment.
‘He is not a bipartisan in the Senate unfortunately, the next bill may be because when a Republican sees that we can do without them they may want to join us and do it with us , but he is bipartisan with the American people, ‘Schumer said.
A public opinion poll on the American Rescue Plan has shown that it appeals to both Democratic and Republican voters.
A Morning Consult poll conducted March 6-8 found that 59 percent of Republicans strongly or somewhat supported the COVID-19 relief package.
That, of course, compares to 90 percent of Democats who said the same thing.
Biden’s administrative principles: the president, vice-president, first lady and second gentleman, stay out the country – mostly to swing states – begin next week to hold legislative influence in the news.
Biden will begin his American Rescue Plan Tour Tuesday with a visit to Delaware County, Pennsylvania, the county between his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was headquartered for his 2020 campaign.
It will also travel to Atlanta, Georgia on Friday to promote the package.
In December and early January, Biden campaigned with the hopes of Georgia Democratic Senate Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, promising voters in the state that if they win – which would give Democrats control of the Senate – that Americans would see those $ 2,000 relief studies.
The studies in the American Rescue Plan are $ 1,400 because $ 600 studies were incorporated into the last COVID-19 incentive package approved under former President Donald Trump.
Both Trump and Biden wanted the sum to be $ 2,000.
