Biden met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Schumer on Friday to continue negotiations.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would prefer to get a deal before he leaves for an overseas trip late next week.

"The plan" is to hold a vote this week on the nearly $2 trillion social spending package, Pelosi said.

The White House meeting Friday with the leaders followed Biden's town hall on Thursday night in Baltimore, where he offered new details on how the spending package is coming together, touching on some items that appear to be set in stone and others that are still up in the air.

In anticipation of a potential deal, House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., informed lawmakers Friday that Democratic leaders "aim" to hold votes next week on both the safety net legislation and the Senate-passed $550 billion infrastructure package
