Senate Democrats: ‘No Rush’ to Complete $3.5 Trillion Reconciliation Package by Halloween Deadline

Wendell Husebø 7 Oct 2021

Senate Democrats have signaled the Halloween deadline for President Biden’s massive tax and spend agenda is arbitrary.

“I think it’s going to be very difficult to get it done by then,” Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) told the Hill about the challenge of meeting an October 31 deadline. “The drafting is going to take some time.”

Yet drafting the legislation doesn’t seem to be the problem. House and Senate Democrats are infighting over what measures should be included in the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package and whether the package should cost $1.5 trillion, $2.2 trillion or $3.5 trillion.

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) told the Hill there is no rush to iron out the details by the Democrats self-appointed deadline of Halloween. “We’re going to get these two bills done when they get done,” said Hirono. “It’s going to take a while.”

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who has been a proponent of extending negotiations on the package, added, “There’s no rush on timing. Let’s just do it and do it right.”
