With new urgency, President Joe Biden makes his case to the American people for Covid-19 relief
President Joe Biden came to Washington with big dreams of bipartisanship, but the practicalities are now setting in.
With Congress still deeply polarized following former President Donald Trump's acrimonious exit, and with dangerous variants of the coronavirus circulating in the US, the President signaled a new sense of urgency Friday about the need to get his $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief package passed -- even if he is not able to bring Republicans along.
Meeting with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in the Oval Office, the President warned of the "cost of inaction," pointing to alarming new job losses, the hunger that some 30 million Americans are facing every day, as well as the possibility that "an entire cohort of kids" could face "lower lifetime earnings because they're deprived of another semester of school."
"We have to act now; there's no time for delay," Biden said.

He punctuated that point less than two hours later on his way to visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center when a reporter asked him whether he was willing to achieve his goals by using reconciliation -- an arcane procedural tactic that would allow Democrats to pass the relief bill on a party-line vote.
"I support passing Covid relief with support from Republicans if we can get it," Biden replied. "But the Covid relief has to pass. There's no ifs, ands or buts."
Biden has been firm about his efforts to reach across the aisle, but he is making it evident that he does not intend to wait forever before pressing ahead with his agenda. Administration officials are expected to continue their outreach to Republican senators through this weekend and into next week, and Biden has personally reached out to more moderate GOP senators like Susan Collins of Maine and Rob Portman of Ohio.
But his team is also increasingly making their case to the American people, as the administration faces resistance to the size and scope of the bill from the GOP. In all of Friday's White House events, the underlying message was clear, and aimed squarely at the American people: your daily lives will not change without a substantial relief package to reinvigorate the economy and give schools and health care providers the resources they need to speed up vaccinations.
