Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is planning on attempting to pass an infrastructure bill by using a budget process to cut out Republicans, even though several Democrat senators have said they won’t support utilizing the method.

“One always wants to try to go a bipartisan route. But what I have seen this year and in past years is that if we want to do something significant, it is very hard to get Republican support. So the devil is of course in the details,” Sanders, a former Democrat presidential candidate, told reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday.
