McCarthy was planning to speak with reporters at the Capitol at 10 a.m. He and President Joe Biden are set to talk early Sunday afternoon, after which bill text will be released, according to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries . At 5 p.m., administration officials will brief House Democrats. Biden will likely need a substantial number of Democrats to back the bill.
