Democrat Proposal Threatens to Unravel Bipartisan Infrastructure BillSean Moran 26 Jul 2021
A Democrat proposal to Senate Republicans has threatened to unravel the progress made on the bipartisan infrastructure deal.
Democrats in the Joe Biden administration and on Capitol Hill sent Senate Republicans involved in the bipartisan infrastructure negotiations a “global offer,” to resolve the many issues plaguing the infrastructure compromise.
Senate Republicans complained that the bill “goes against” what Republicans and Democrats have already agreed to, according to Punchbowl News reporter John Bresnahan.
Further, the Senate Republicans said that the bill could reopen issues that the two sides have resolved.
“The ‘global offer’ we received from the White House and Chuck Schumer was discouraging since it attempts to reopen numerous issues the bipartisan group had already agreed to,” a GOP source familiar with the negotiations told Punchbowl News.
“If this is going to be successful, the White House will need to show more flexibility as Republicans have done and listen to the members of the group that produced this framework,” the source said.
Although some members of the bipartisan infrastructure have signaled that they remain very close to a deal, reports suggest they still have to resolve many issues.
