WASHINGTON—U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday withdrew his threat to veto a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill unless a separate Democratic spending plan also passes Congress, saying that was not his intent.
Moments after announcing the bipartisan deal on Thursday, Biden appeared to put it in jeopardy with his comment that the infrastructure bill would have to move in “tandem” with a larger bill that includes a host of Democratic priorities that he hopes to pass using reconciliation to bypass the Senate filibuster rule.
