WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden brought to the Capitol Hill on Wednesday to make a case for the infrastructure initiative of his two trajectories, the day after the leading Senate Democrats agreed that the $ 3.5 trillion plan was billed as the biggest boost for the family.
Biden will attend 12:45 p.m.
(1645 GMT) lunch at the Capitol, where he is expected to urge his Democrats in the Senate to support the $ 1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure agreement to rebuild American roads and bridges, and a larger reconciliation package that also addresses climate change and needs.
For stronger social services.
“The President hopes to return to Capitol Hill, the place he spent for 36 years as a member of the Senate,” said a White House official, spoke with anonymity requirements.
“He will continue to make a case for a dual-track approach that will build the economy back better with the main investment in not only our nation’s infrastructure, but our efforts to protect our climate, to prepare the next generation of workers and to support the middle class middles.
“Democrats face a complicated road in front of the two steps through a narrow divided congress.
They will need support from all of their 50 senators – plus Vice President’s Voice of Kamala Harris to pass $ 3.5 trillion over the Republican opposition.
The Republican Party in Congress has warned that a separate Democratic plan can only lead them to choose the bipartisan plan of $ 1.2 trillion.
Even if they pass through the Senate, the two steps also need to make it through the House of Representatives before going to the Biden table.
The $ 3.5 trillion plan agreed upon by Senior Democrats and White House Negotiators includes significant expansion of Medicare Health Program for Elderly – The main purpose of the Chairman of the Bernie Sanders Senate Budget Committee, who joined the majority leader of the Democratic Senate Chuck Schumer in launching a Tuesday night deal.
Sanders support can help build support among progressive Democrats, some of which have pushed larger packages.
Republican senate, who sees a greater Biden expenditure ambition as wasteful and unnecessary, has voiced quality support for a narrower $ 1.2 trillion plan, which includes $ 600 billion in new expenses for roads, bridges, trains, General Transit System, Water and Broadband.
“You add it to $ 600 billion in bipartisan plans and you get $ 4.1 trillion, which is very close to what Biden president asks us,” Schumer said, referring to the Democratic agreement for only $ 3.5 trillion.
But the Senate Approval for both packages facing obstacles, including the possibility of being reluctant by moderate such as Democratic Senator Joe Manchin to support a greater reconciliation agreement.
50 The Republic of the Republic of the Senate is not expected to support the wider infrastructure efforts, which will cancel the Tax deduction of the Republic of President Donald Trump by increasing US tax companies and rich individuals.
Asked about the Democratic agreement on Wednesday, the Republican Senator Mitt Romney said in a short interview on the Capitol, it was: “Amazing.
This is a surprising figure, especially when the economy has been heated.
It seems that our Democratic friends might lose their bearings.
“Asked whether it could cause problems for bipartisan infrastructure bills he was working on, Romney answered difficult to predict.
“But it clearly changes the dynamics.” The lack of republican support will leave the Democrats to pursue their own part under the process of “reconciliation” of the budget that avoids the rules that require at least 60 votes to advance the law in the room of 100 members.
