White House adviser Cedric Richmond said the administration now plans to focus on the passage of the $1.75 trillion social spending package after the House approved the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill last week.

“We need to get it done,” Richmond told Fox News on Nov. 7 about the social spending package, which includes funding to expand social programs and “climate”-related programs.
