No Senate Republicans are willing to support two recent infrastructure-related measures proposed by President Joe Biden, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on May 3, setting up the potential for drawn-out negotiations or the use of reconciliation.
Biden has proposed a $2.2 trillion jobs package and a $1.8 trillion package for families, both of which include money for roads, bridges, and broadband, as well as manufacturing, public schools, in-home care, and other provisions. The president also seeks to boost taxes on wealthier Americans and corporations, and increase capital gains taxes.
