on Saturday told reporters that"everybody is frustrated" after two massive pieces of legislation stalled in Congress, as well as a debt limit increase, amid infighting among a divided Democratic caucus.

But the progressive Democrats refused to back the infrastructure bill until there is agreement on the enormous reconciliation package, meaning it wouldn't have the votes to pass the House. The snarling of the bills was the latest sign of the political difficulties Democrats face with a 50-50 Senate and an extremely slim majority in the House.

Biden met with Democrats on Capitol Hill on Friday in what Fox News was told was an effort to bring down the temperature down between the two wings. Biden is said to have told Democrats they don’t have the votes to pass the infrastructure bill."I support both of them. And I think we can get them both done," he said.

"Well I hope Republicans aren’t irresponsible enough to refuse to raise the debt limit— that would be totally unconscionable," Biden said.But Republicans took aim at Democrats for having"failed" in their legislative efforts.
