Fifth, Congress. With efforts to pass federal voting rights legislation and to make changes to the Senate filibuster at Square One (again), the Biden Administration said it will work with House and Senate leaders on a smaller version of its Build Back Better legislative relief package in an effort to reach common ground with recalcitrant Democrats—and even Republicans.
Neither the Senate Banking Committee nor the House Financial Services Committee have hearings scheduled this week.
