Bernie Sanders Focused on Reconciliation Process to Force Partisan Infrastructure Legislation
Wendell Husebø 14 Jun 2021
Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), chair of the Senate Budget Committee, is focused on the reconciliation process to force President Joe Biden’s partisan infrastructure legislation into law, as negotiations between the White House and Republican senators look bleak.
“He’s focused on building momentum for a reconciliation bill that will be the most consequential legislation for working people enacted since the 1930s,” a Sanders aide told Politico Monday.
The plot comes as Democrat senators have pushed back on bipartisan negotiations on infrastructure due to the withholding of certain global warming provisions that exist in the current “trojan horse” proposal.
Sanders’ intention to force his far-left agenda into legislation to be passed by reconciliation gives Democrats an extra chance to pass major fiscal legislation without consulting Republicans.
