Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) is urging reporters to write more about what is in the roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and $1.75 trillion spending package.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Lieu said Democrats have been trying to sell the bipartisan infrastructure bill and a separate spending package.

However, he said, “We’re also in a really different information ecosystem than we were in even a decade ago. You know, QAnon folks believe that JFK is going to magically reappear pretty soon. So that is sort of what we’re dealing with.”

“And we do, in part, rely on all of you to convey the truth and actual facts. And if you all want to write about this amazing tax cut for families and children that’s really transformative, that would be really helpful,” the California Democrat added.

On Tuesday, a crowd gathered in Dallas, Texas, apparently to awake the return of John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a plane crash in 1999, with the expectation former President Donald Trump will be reinstated and he will be named vice president.

Additionally, Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) said, “Most of the coverage right now and the better part of the last few months has been on process, which of course, makes sense because we are engaged in a complex legislative process to get these bills across the finish line.”

“But that, in some respects obfuscates away from the substance of these incredibly important, consequential pieces of legislation that will have lasting impact on the American people and American families,” he added.

On Oct. 12, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked if Democrats “need to do a better job at messaging” their spending bill.

“Well, I think you all could do a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you because every time I come here, I go through the list, Family Medical Leave, the issues that are in there,” she said.

The California Democrat, noting the sweeping scope of the bill, said it is “hard to break through when you have such a comprehensive package.”

A CBS News poll in October found that just 10% of Americans say they know a lot of specific details about what is in the bill, while 29% say they do not know what’s in it, and 33% say they have a “general sense” of the bill, which was then expected to cost $3.5 trillion.

Additionally, 59% of respondents said they heard about the price tag, while 58% said they heard about tax increases for high-income Americans.

While few respondents said they know specific details of the bill, the poll found that many of the respondents said they support provisions that are in the package.
