WASHINGTON—Disagreements on tax increases and healthcare proposals have taken center stage in Democrats’ talks to finalize their roughly $2 trillion social policy and climate framework, with President Biden and top lawmakers meeting again to work through remaining snags.
Top Democrats hope to nail down an outline for the legislation in the coming days, racing to meet an Oct. 31 deadline to vote on a separate, roughly $1 trillion infrastructure bill. Democrats have tied together the House passage of the public-works bill with an agreement on the social policy and climate package, a delicate two-step that has taken months.
