Bipartisan group of senators holds call amid GOP concerns on reconciliation
CBSN
When President Biden emerged from the White House on Thursday surrounded by a group of senators of both parties to announce that a deal had been reached on a nearly $1 trillion infrastructure proposal, it seemed to be a triumphant display of bipartisanship.
But the celebration was short-lived. Barely 24 hours after the deal with Mr. Biden was announced, the core bipartisan group of 10 senators who negotiated the proposal held a call Friday amid concerns from Republican senators that the president will not sign a bipartisan infrastructure deal without a reconciliation bill to address his other key priorities. Mr. Biden angered Republicans on Thursday afternoon hours after announcing the deal on a framework focused on physical infrastructure, when he pledged that he would only accept the bipartisan deal if it moved "swiftly and in tandem" with a reconciliation bill, which would only require a simple majority to pass.
