Pelosi says Biden, Dems want 'big, bold' bipartisan spending bill
Fox News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she's feeling even more optimistic now about passing a "big, bold" spending bill this year after meeting with President Biden and congressional leadership at the White House.
"I felt optimistic about our ability to pass such a bill," Pelosi said Wednesday after the White House meeting. "I'm more optimistic now about being able to do so in a bipartisan way." Pelosi highlighted two potential roadblocks. She doesn't agree with increasing user fees to fund the legislation, which Republicans want. (She backs Biden's proposal to increase taxes on the wealthy to fund improvements.) She noted that Democrats and Republicans disagreed on whether funding electric cars should be included in any package -- a further indication of the debates ahead on the scope of infrastructure spending.
