In fact, Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, emphasized his determination to push through his $1.9 trillion stimulus bill. Shortly before the meeting at the White House, above, Democratic congressional leaders released a blueprint that could pave the way for passing the president’s plan with only Democratic votes through a process known as budget reconciliation. The $618 billion Republican alternative plan omits a federal minimum wage increase that Mr. Biden included. It would also whittle down his proposal to send $1,400 checks to many Americans, and limit it to lower-income earners. The coalition of center-right Republican senators, led by Susan Collins of Maine, billed its offer as a way for Mr. Biden to pass a pandemic aid bill with bipartisan support and make good on his inauguration pledge to unite the country.
