White House adviser says there's no timeline on votes to pass Biden's agenda

• Biden on Friday said the two bills must remain linked, scuttling the hopes of moderates who hoped to pass the infrastructure bill on its own.

What he's saying: "[W]e’re not using an artificial timeline, and we’re not concerned with process,” Richmond said. “We’re concerned about delivering.”

• Richmond also told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that Congress will continue working on both the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the soft-infrastructure reconciliation bill simultaneously.
• "People will be disappointed. People will not get everything they want. That is the art of legislating," he warned on "Meet the Press."

Of note: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) also told "Meet the Press" on Sunday that there's no clear deadline for passing the bills, reiterating that negotiations are a "long and complicated process. ... It's not going to happen overnight."
