Republicans and Democrats are slowly getting closer in negotiations on a major infrastructure package, a top GOP negotiator says.
Democrats used a budget tool called reconciliation to ram through the COVID-19 relief package earlier this year but have not turned to the tool for infrastructure because “there is a hunger for bipartisanship,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) said on May 30, citing how President Joe Biden told people during his inaugural speech that he would govern for voters from both parties.
