When Mr. Andrew Bates, a deputy White House press secretary, said Mr. Democrats are scaling back the ambitious bill. Key elements are likely to be dropped or pared back. The West Virginia Democrat has been clear that he wants to see a much cheaper, less generous , more targeted and less environmentally friendly measure than the one Mr.

Biden and Democrats originally envisioned. But Mr. Kyrsten Sinema has also objected to the plan. Unlike Mr. Manchin, the Democratic senator from Arizona has been far more enigmatic with her concerns, drawing the ire of progressive activists , former supporters and veterans.

A framework has yet to emerge. No final decisions have been made on the plan — which is expected to include education, child care, paid leave, anti-poverty and climate change programs — and negotiations are continuing. But even with a scaled-back version , passage of the bill is no guarantee. The American Dental Association is mobilizing its members to oppose the expansion of Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision benefits, arguing it would be too costly for dentists.

The Independent Petroleum Association of America is fighting new fees or taxes on energy companies, which they say will raise costs for customers. Likewise, the American Petroleum Institute has lobbied against a fee on methane emissions.

Manchin, a key swing vote on the social safety net package, has close ties to the fossil fuel industry, earning half a million dollars last year from coal production. A spokeswoman for the governor later said the secretary to the governor will recuse herself in any discussions and decisions related to her husband's lobbying efforts.

Mike Keogh has several marquee clients that have recently been trying to influence New York lawmakers and officials — including Hochul's office when she was lieutenant governor — according to state disclosure reports. Mike Keogh and his team lobbied Hochul's staff as recently as June. Hochul's office said at the time of Karen Keogh's appointment that "recusals will be put in place by midnight to ensure that any New York State business relating to the secretary's spouse will be delegated in order to prevent any appearance of conflicts of interest.

The Keogh situation nonetheless presents a complicated problem for the new governor. The corporations represented by Mike Keogh conduct extensive business in the state. A Hochul press representative did not respond to CNBC's follow up questions about how exactly Keogh is going to recuse herself from her spouse's work.

Hochul said this week that a stronger ethics code will be part of her new administration, which will include "requiring ethics training for every employee of New York State government," she said on Tuesday. The governor herself could have to answer for potential conflicts that go beyond members of her team. CNBC reported that her daughter-in-law is a lobbyist at a pharmaceutical firm that has been seeking to influence state and federal lawmakers.

William Hochul, the governor's husband, is the senior vice president and general counsel at gambling and hospitality giant Delaware North, which is based in Buffalo. Hochul's administration will have authority over key regulators that have ties to the gambling industry, including the New York State Gaming Commission. Hochul's office previously told CNBC that Delaware North has set up a firewall that prevents William Hochul from having any involvement in state business, restricts his compensation from New York State-related businesses and establishes strict monitoring of any communications with Delaware North.
