The goal was to get the deal done by September and though it is only June, the efforts have been kicked into high gear.<\/p>\n<p>One major factor in this latest infrastructure proposal is an agreement to not fund the proposal by raising taxes on the wealthy. Democrats such as Sen. John Tester (D-Mont.) have mentioned it will be a difficult selling point with his fellow Democrats in the senate, but is something he believes can get 60 votes in the upper chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s going to be challenges and I think that there\u2019s plenty of opportunity to be optimistic,\u201d he stated. \u201cThe challenges are getting closer and closer until we can get the Democratic caucus on board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senate Republicans seem to be more receptive to the latest deal, as Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) signaled his openness to the deal with Republicans such as Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) taking part in negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMitch McConnell said yesterday he was open to it,\u201d the Louisiana senator mentioned. \u201cThat\u2019s a good next step.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More roads, more bridges, less borrowing, less taxes. Let&#8217;s get a deal done.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (@SenBillCassidy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenBillCassidy\/status\/1402975654761598979?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bipartisan talks between Sen. Shelly Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Joe Biden ended without a deal earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), both Republicans and Democrats within this bipartisan group are looking to have the deal approved by party leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell as soon as possible. They are also awaiting approval from the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFigure out something by the end of the week? That\u2019s hopefully the goal here,\u201d she explained. \u201cPeople want to know whether there is something for us to be working on and focusing on and I\u2019d like to say that there is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Members of the group have called the deal a \u201crealistic compromise framework to modernize our nation\u2019s infrastructure and energy technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Tester, the group will aim to fund projects from other pots of money the government has access to without raising taxes. However, specifics on the other sources of cash are unclear at this time.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/border-wall-funding-returned-to-military-for-various-infrastructure-projects\/\">Border Wall Funding Returned To Military For Various Infrastructure Projects<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, center, accompanied by Senate Minority Whip Sen.
