Congressional Democrats this week will try to start salvaging the unfinished parts of U.S. President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda and respond to voters’ demands to address inflation while also bolstering high-tech jobs to compete with China.

Biden, in his State of the Union address last week, sketched out a more moderate path following a year of spending around $3 trillion to tame the COVID-19 pandemic and invest in infrastructure improvements.
