It currently appears that Biden is not in favor of extending unemployment benefits and even went as far as saying it was an “appropriate” time for them to end.
Many moderate Democrats along with Joe Biden are not in favor of handing out more unemployment benefits. AOC responded by saying, “I’m not entirely sure the prospects of it, and I want to be completely honest with you all on that. We will work it, we will try, but I simply just could not allow us to let this happen without at least trying.”
