Manchin said he\u2019s \u201cworking on it\u201d regarding the package, but hasn\u2019t yet promised to back some of Biden\u2019s more progressive plans through reconciliation, as USA Today <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2021\/06\/24\/biden-senators-agree-1-2-trillion-infrastructure-deal\/5333841001\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cOne can\u2019t be done without the other,\u201d Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, according to USA Today. \u201cWe can\u2019t get the bipartisan bill done unless we\u2019re sure we\u2019re getting the budget reconciliation bill done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bipartisan infrastructure package has $579 billion in new spending and focuses on infrastructure like roads, bridges and sewer pipes, among other items. It avoids implementing a gas tax increase, an item the Biden administration has repeatedly expressed opposition to. It also does not implement a corporate tax hike, which is favorable to Republicans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden said Thursday that he has no plans to sign a bipartisan infrastructure package unless it\u2019s accompanied by a reconciliation bill.Biden, alongside the five Democratic senators and five &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2281255,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-24-at-3.19.20-PM-e1624562443597.png","fifu_image_alt":"Biden Says He Won\u2019t Sign Bipartisan Infrastructure Package Without Reconciliation Bill","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-573102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-24-at-3.19.20-PM-e1624562443597.png","fifu_image_alt":"Biden Says He Won\u2019t Sign Bipartisan Infrastructure Package Without Reconciliation Bill","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=573102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2281255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=573102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=573102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=573102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
