Biden said the GOP’s then-$928 billion plan fell short. The bipartisan deal emerged this week after talks collapsed between Biden and Republican Sen. “But we're not going to sacrifice the bigness and boldness in this bill. “It may well be that part of the bill that will pass will be bipartisan, and part of it will be through reconciliation,” Schumer said. Schumer wants the Senate to pursue a bipartisan package on more traditional infrastructure projects and take up a second infrastructure bill that includes other spending, such as $400 billion to support caregivers and $100 billion in electric vehicle tax credits. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is trying to both please liberals and provide a path to passing a bipartisan infrastructure measure. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, tweeted Friday. “Why let Republicans decide the size of an infrastructure bill when reconciliation is a perfectly legitimate process (used unapologetically by the GOP when they were in power) to do a bill that will actually make a difference?” Sen. They want Biden and Democratic leaders to leave the GOP behind and pass a big infrastructure bill using the reconciliation budgetary tactic, which allows certain legislation to pass with only 51 votes.ĭemocrats believe taking up one large package would provide leverage to convince moderate Democrats who may not support non-infrastructure spending in the bill or Biden’s plan to pay for it by raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%. Liberal Senate Democrats are balking at the bipartisan proposal. Biden and key Senate Democrats said they oppose an increase in the gas tax, but it’s not clear whether they would oppose indexing the tax. Some of the bipartisan measure would be funded by indexing the gas tax to inflation, which would almost certainly raise the current $18.4 cents-per-gallon federal tax on unleaded gasoline. The bipartisan plan, which would be roughly $1.2 trillion, falls far short in both size and scope of Biden’s $1.7 trillion proposal.

The measure leaves out top liberal wish list spending on “human infrastructure” and climate change mitigation. A White House statement Friday said, “Questions need to be addressed” about the plan and how it is paid for. The group launched early discussions with the White House and hopes the plan can become the basis of a bill that will pass the Senate with bipartisan support.īut Biden is traveling in Europe and hasn’t signaled whether he will back the proposal yet.
