House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she expects President Joe Biden’s most ambitious legislation -- his $2.25 trillion jobs proposal and another focused on social spending to support families -- will be packaged into two bills by Congress.
The White House has said that Biden will propose an American Families Plan as soon as this month, in addition to the American Jobs Plan unveiled last week. The second bill will include expanded benefits for child care and some health measures.
