Biden tells House Democrats tuition-free community college is out of economic package

President Biden has told House progressives that the final bill to expand the social safety net is expected to drop tuition-free community college, a major White House priority, sources say

Moreover, he indicated that the child tax credit -- a key Democratic priority -- would likely be extended for one additional year, much shorter than what many in their party wanted, one of the sources said. The child tax credit will also likely be means tested, keeping with what West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin had wanted.

The President has highlighted the free college proposal in speeches across the country for months, telling one audience in July he was"insisting that we have universal pre-kindergarten two years of free community college." Biden, however, indicated the provision could be cut from the final plan late last week.
