Joe Manchin\u2019s (D-WV) opposition.<\/p>\n<p>In a move that will undoubtedly anger progressive Democrats, two sources confirmed to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/senate\/578813-democrats-cutting-paid-leave-from-spending-deal-amid-manchin-opposition?rl=1\">The Hill<\/a>&nbsp;that paid family leave will be dropped entirely from the bill.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt likely will not be in the final bill, despite many members lobbying him to support,\u201d the source reportedly said.<\/p>\n<p>The bill originally proposed 12 weeks of paid family leave before being negotiated down to four weeks, both of which failed to persuade Joe Manchin away from his opposition. The Hill noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p>A second source familiar&nbsp;with the talks described Sen.&nbsp;<span class=\"rollover-people\">Joe Manchin<\/span>&nbsp;(D-W.V) as the hold up to getting paid leave into the bill, describing him as \u2018firm\u2019 in his opposition and suggesting it was out absent a shift by him. Democrats had been working for days to try to come up with a paid leave policy that could satisfy Manchin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D.N.Y.) said on Wednesday that she has been working to negotiate a policy that Manchin could support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying to get a paid leave package that Sen. Manchin is comfortable with, that is consistent with the president\u2019s&nbsp;goals and values and views and vision,\u201d Gillibrand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesunion.com\/capitol\/article\/Gillibrand-negotiates-with-Manchin-to-preserve-16568119.php\">told reporters<\/a>. \u201cI have an idea I think might work and I\u2019m very optimistic about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still working hard,\u201d she later added. \u201cI haven\u2019t gotten feedback from Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) expressed dismay over paid leave\u2019s exclusion, fearing that more men and women will get fired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt means that women are going to get fired and men because they have to stay home with their sick child or children. That is unacceptable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that a deal will not be reached by Thursday, Sanders further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/10\/27\/top-dems-social-spending-deal-manchin-sinema-517332\">expressed frustration<\/a>&nbsp;with certain \u201cmembers\u201d of Congress who are holding up the bill:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"10\">\n<p>The problem is not with the president, the problem is with members here who, although they are very few in number \u2026 that think they have a right to determine what the rest of the Congress should be doing. And I strongly disagree. It\u2019s not conceivable to me that we\u2019re going to have a deal today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Both Sen. Joe Mancin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) have objected to what they feel are excessive elements of the bill that progressive Democrats overwhelmingly favor, such as an expansion of welfare handouts, free college, free pre-K, and increased efforts to combat global climate change. Speaking with reporters earlier this month, Sen. Manchin&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/07\/joe-manchin-i-do-not-want-an-entitlement-society-i-want-a-rewarding-society\/\">feared that<\/a>&nbsp;the bill would further create an \u201centitlement society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been very clear when it comes to who we are as a society, who we are as a nation, and why we are still the hope of the world,\u201d&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/war-of-words-heats-up-between-sanders-senate-moderates-in-budget-fight-162707443.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">he said<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t believe that we should turn our society into an entitlement society.
