Political Rewind: Party Feud Over High Stakes Federal Budget Features Ga. Democrat Among Holdouts
Tuesday on Political Rewind: Georgia 7th District U.S. Rep. Carolyn Bordeaux is among a group of moderate Democrats under fire for their resistance to supporting President Biden\u2019s $3.5 trillion budget proposal until the U.S. House passes a bipartisan infrastructure bill. The Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and lawmakers in the progressive wing of the party, are criticizing the move from the holdouts.\n\nReporting from the U.S. Capitol suggests Speaker Pelosi is optimistic today about a possible deal on the consequential legislation.\n\nMeanwhile, the FDA gave final approval yesterday for Pfizer\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine. How might it change the landscape for fighting the virus? Will Gov. Brian Kemp push harder to encourage Georgians to take the shots? Will businesses mandate vaccines for employees?\n\nPanelists:\n\nTamar Hallerman \u2014 Senior reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nClaire Sanders \u2014 Senior lecturer of political science and public administration at Georgia College State University\n\nRep.
