Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday he will put forward a proposal this week aimed at preventing the sequester, though he billed it as a "balanced" blend of spending cuts and revenue increases, something House Republicans have said they would oppose.

Obama, after laying out his priorities in his State of the Union address, is scheduled to stump for his agenda in North Carolina, Georgia and Illinois the remainder of the week.
