Senate negotiators have reached agreement on the major components of a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, clearing the way for a procedural vote on Wednesday to move toward formal debate and passage, a Republican lawmaker said.

'We now have agreement on the major issues. We are prepared to move forward,' Senator Rob Portman, the lead Republican negotiator in infrastructure talks, told reporters after a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The deal brings possible action on a major spending priority for the president, who has long touted his decades spent in the Senate and his ability to bring Democrats and Republicans to the table.

Making a deal with the Demonicrats is congruent with giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

Now it’s 1.2 trillion. Add that to the 5 trillion package they have promised to ram through via reconciliation.

Does it still cram in nationalized mail in voting? This is the ultimate poison pill because if it passes America will become a Dictatorship. Democrats will never again lose any election they want to win.

I would say the Republicans are stupid but they are in league with Democrats so it’s kind of pointless.

Don't do it. Make them use reconciliation otherwise they'll just slam that $3.5 trillion bill through using it.

Run out the clock!!

Yup

Tell me why the idiot R’s go along with a bill when Pelosi simply ignores all rules and inserts her own cutouts into her little Stalin Showtrial and Shoomer goes along with it.

Why would anyone cooperate with these thugs in any way, shape or form?

There is no “bipartisanship” other then capitulation with them. And only traitors and losers capitulate.

Read two days ago that we had more than a trillion left over from the COVID package….why not use the money on infrastructure? Or is that for handing out to their buddies with the big guy getting his 10%….
