It looks like Joe Biden’s sales effort has failed, ast least so far. The news was first tweeted by Ben Smith at POLITICO.
The House Democratic Caucus has voted to reject the tax "framework" deal.
This doesn’t mean it’s dead, but it’s not a positive development for the President. The question is: What can Democrats extract from the GOP at this point, so that it’s palatable to both sides?
Markets are mixed and haven’t moved much on the news.
