Democrats in the Senate were able to push the legislation through without GOP support because of a process called reconciliation, which scraps the 60-vote filibuster for bills on taxes and spending.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s next priority is passing through an even larger spending package, ostensibly on infrastructure though the plan includes many economic and structural changes sought by progressives, piece by piece, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/22\/business\/biden-infrastructure-spending.html\">The New York Times<\/a>. The plan is to address a number of administration priorities such as climate change, inequality, inequity, and racism. The package is estimated to cost $3 trillion, but could easily go as high as $4 trillion with additional tax credits and incentives.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Times:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p><em>Just how to approach the legislative strategy is still under discussion given the size of the proposal and the thin majority that Democrats hold in the House and the Senate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Mr. Biden\u2019s advisers plan to recommend that the effort be broken into pieces, with Congress tackling infrastructure before turning to a second package that would include more people-focused proposals, like free community college, universal prekindergarten and a national paid leave program.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Democrats will only have one more chance to use reconciliation this year and avoid a 60-vote filibuster that would force them to work with Republicans in the Senate. Breaking the package into multiple bills likely means Democrats would have to pass much tamer legislation or use the nuclear option on the Senate filibuster, a move being championed by many Democratic lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s game plan for his infrastructure package contradicts his earlier claims against scrapping the 60-vote filibuster, Last week, the president said he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-wants-to-bring-back-talking-filibuster-what-it-was-supposed-to-be\">supported<\/a> a return to the \u201ctalking filibuster\u201d which would force senators to hold the floor for hours to block a vote on a bill.<\/p>\n<p>In the 50-50 Senate, Democratic moderates such as Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have protected the filibuster rule. Democratic Party leaders are looking to midterms to extend their slim majority and break the moderate blockade of the filibuster in the future. Ending the filibuster has become a \u201clitmus test\u201d for Democratic Senate candidates in 2022, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/03\/23\/filibuster-democrats-senate-midterms-477573\">Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would be surprised if there\u2019s anyone in any of these [competitive] states \u2026 that would support maintaining the filibuster,\u201d Democratic Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is planning to run for Senate next year, told Politico. \u201cGetting rid of the filibuster is as close to a litmus test for our party as I can describe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elizabeth-warren-says-the-filibuster-is-racist-here-are-three-times-shes-used-it-herself\">Elizabeth Warren Says The Filibuster Is \u2018Racist\u2019\u2026 Here Are Three Times She\u2019s Used It Herself<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
