I’m gonna delete this thread because Alex deleted the underlying tweet. But there are two issues here. 
One, which the White House is pushing back on very hard, that it agreed to scrap the Jobs Plan measures that aren’t included in the bipartisan deal. (That never made sense.)
Two, that it won’t try to recover the spending *topline* it has conceded in negotiations.
Two, that it won’t try to recover the spending *topline* it has conceded in negotiations.
Based on what Manchin has said in recent days, that seems very likely true. And it’s a TON of spending to concede. But if it’s not actually a handshake deal with the GOP negotiators, then it’s a story about internal Dem politics, not about GOP demands per se.
Still a huge comedown, if it holds, from the $4T Biden originally proposed. But less clearly a response to GOP demands as opposed to demands from within the party.
