White House Admits Democrats Lack Votes for $3.5 Trillion Reconciliation ‘Infrastructure’ Proposal
Wendell Husebø 14 Jul 2021
The White House admitted Wednesday that Senate Democrats lack the votes to pass the $3.5 trillion reconciliation “infrastructure” framework agreed upon Tuesday evening.
“If there were enough votes for each of these priorities there would be a vote and it would have happened,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said about the two track infrastructure proposals the Democrats are attempting to pass, one via filibuster- immune reconciliation and the other by a traditional vote.
Psaki added that Biden is:
…headed up to the hill because it’s the next natural step, ummm, and as I said, he [Biden] knows that as president you lay out out an agenda… [to] members of Congress [to] negotiate the details. And then it’s his role to continue to engage in selling both, both packages to members and the Senate and the public.
