| EDITOR'S NOTE
Hello,
This is CNBC.com politics reporter Jacob Pramuk, in for politics editor Mike Calia.
President Joe Biden will kick off his infrastructure outreach next week when Congress returns to Washington.
The president will start his sales pitch to Capitol Hill when he meets with bipartisan members of the House and Senate. Biden has said he will hear out Republican ideas on how to change his more than $2 trillion infrastructure plan as GOP lawmakers criticize the proposal.
Even so, Biden has signaled he would move ahead without Republicans to pass a bill that would inject money into transportation, broadband, housing and job training, and hike the corporate tax rate to 28%.
As Biden starts his infrastructure push, he is also digging into two other priorities for his party. The White House will set up a bipartisan commission to study the potential expansion of the Supreme Court. Liberal activists have pushed to add seats to counter the top U.S. court's conservative drift.
Meanwhile, Biden took executive actions this week that aim to address gun violence. He said his top priority would be to allow shooting victims or their relatives to sue gun makers.
