民主党人将在参议院就乔·拜登总统的议程达成协议,拜登是前国务卿和2016年民主党提名人希拉里·克林顿周一在《观点》上说,但像3.5万亿美元的基础设施法案这样的立法的通过“早就应该了。”
“我认为他们会达成协议,”克林顿说。“他们必须进入细节——所以账单中会有什么符合他们愿意花费的金额——我实际上认为他们会得到一笔交易。但这将是一场过山车,不会令人愉快。”

弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员乔·曼钦(Joe Manchin)和亚利桑那州民主党党团其他成员在通过拜登的“重建更美好法案”(Build Back Better Act)时陷入僵局,该支出计划旨在资助一些社会项目。
“该法案对经历了如此可怕时期的家庭有如此多的支持,理应得到支持。还有早就应该做的事情,比如带薪探亲假和对优质儿童保育的支持,这些都是像我们这样的其他国家多年来一直在做的事情,而我们在追赶上却远远落后了。
她还将共和党的一些成员比作邪教成员,提到该党接受选举被窃取的“大谎言”。她说,她认为该国正处于宪法危机之中。

“这样说我绝对不满意,因为我认为我们正处于一个非常危险的时刻,我们政府的合法性和我们总统的选举正受到持续的高层攻击。显然,我们的前总统不仅是幕后黑手,他还煽动、鼓励并继续这样做,”克林顿在谈到1月6日国会大厦的叛乱时说。
美国广播公司新闻的乔纳森·卡尔的书《背叛》的新报道详述特朗普的反应对着人群。他吹嘘人群的规模,并与希望他呼吁支持者停止骚乱的助手争论。
当与脸书和其他社交媒体网站上分享的错误信息结合在一起时,希拉里说,“我们仍在齐心协力、资金充足地破坏美国民主。”
这位前纽约州参议员告诉《观点》联合主持人,她希望国会能够以两党合作的方式,在脸书和儿童接触社交媒体的问题上,通过一些法规。
她补充说:“我希望这可能是在两党合作的基础上,我们能够提出适当的法规和变革,以控制像脸书这样的公司拥有的这种压倒性的权力,真正努力获得它所拥有的好处。”。
参议院小组委员会上周二听到一个告密者世卫组织声称,脸书操纵了它知道对年轻用户有害的内容,就在一天前,这家社交媒体巨头经历了一次明显无关的大规模宕机。她声称,当脸书高管得知他们的平台可能对外国民主国家和儿童的心理健康产生有害影响时,他们公然置之不理。脸书对她的说法提出异议。
Democrats will reach a deal on Biden's agenda: Hillary Clinton on 'The View'
Democrats will reach a deal on President Joe Biden's agenda in the Senate, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic nomineeHillary Clintonsaid Monday on "The View," but the passage of legislation like the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill is "overdue."
"I think they will get a deal," Clinton said. "They have to get into the details-- so what would go into that bill that would fit into the amount of money that they're willing to spend-- and I actually think they'll get a deal. But it's going to be a roller coaster and it's not going to be pleasant."
Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., are at an impasse with the rest of the Democratic caucus when it comes to passing Biden's "Build Back Better Act," a spending plan set to fund a number of social programs.
"The bill has so much support for families who have gone through such a terrible time, and deserve to have support. And things that are way overdue, like paid family leave and support for quality child care-- things that other countries that like us have been doing for years and we are way behind in catching up," she said.

She also likened some members of the Republican Party to members of a cult in reference to the party's embrace of the "Big Lie" that the election was stolen. She said she believes the country is in the midst of a constitutional crisis.
"That gives me absolutely no satisfaction in saying this, because I think we're at a very dangerous, continuing high-level attack on the legitimacy of our government and the election of our president. Obviously, our former president is not only behind it, he incited it, he encouraged it and he continues to do so," Clinton said in reference to the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
New reporting from ABC News' Jonathan Karl's book "Betrayal"detailed Trump's reactionto the crowd. He boasted about the size of the crowd, and he argued with aides who wanted him to call on his supporters to stop rioting.
When combined with misinformation shared on Facebook and other social media sites, Clinton said, "We're still in the midst of a concerted, well-funded effort to undermine American democracy."
The former New York senator told "The View" co-hosts that she hopes Congress can come together in a bipartisan manner to pass some sorts of regulations when it comes to Facebook and the access children have to social media.
"I'm hoping that maybe this can be on a bipartisan basis that we can come up with appropriate regulations and changes that will rein in this overwhelming power a company like Facebook has, to really try to get the good that it has," she added.
A Senate subcommitteelast Tuesday heard from a whistleblowerwho claims Facebook manipulated content it knew was harmful to young users, a day after the social media giant experienced an apparently unrelated massive outage. She alleged blatant disregard from Facebook executives when they learned their platforms could have harmful effects on foreign democracies and the mental health of children. Facebook has disputed her claims.
