Nancy Pelosi: Democrats 'Pretty Much There' in Budget Deal as Biden Meets With Joe Manchin

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that Democrats are "pretty much there" in reaching a deal on the social spending bill, as President Joe Biden is set to meet with Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) to discuss last-minute negotiations.

Speaking on CNN's State of the Union, Pelosi expressed confidence that the reconciliation bill would move forward quickly as Democrats seek to pair it with a bipartisan infrastructure bill by the end of the month.

"Senate [Majority] Leader [Chuck] Schumer, Senator Manchin and the president are having a meeting on some of the particulars that need to be finalized, and I'm optimistic that we can do that," she added.

Previous measures such as the Clean Electricity Performance Program, which would incentivize utilities to use clean energy sources, have been taken out of the package after Manchin expressed opposition.

On Sunday, Pelosi said that while the social spending bill is less than what was originally projected, she feels confident that there will be sufficient legislation to meet Biden's goals.
