I intend to pursue the passage of that plan, which Democrats and Republicans agreed to on Thursday, with vigor,\u201d the president said in a statement, which added that the president plans to travel to Capitol Hill this week to hash out details of the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Biden shocked Republicans, both on the team negotiating the compromise infrastructure bill and Republicans in Congress, generally, when, Thursday, he tried to \u201c[reassure] progressive Democrats who sought a guarantee that the Biden administration would still seek a second package,\u201d the WSJ noted, and heavily implied that he would require Republicans to agree not to filibuster the second \u201cinfrastructure bill\u201d in order to pass the first one.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Biden says he is fully committed to both bills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI intend to work hard to get both of them passed because our country needs both\u2014and I ran a winning campaign for President that promised to deliver on both. No one should be surprised that that is precisely what I am doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For now, CNN noted, Congressional Republicans say they\u2019re willing to accept Biden at his word, that he will not try to renegotiate what is currently a closed deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublican senators, who were enraged to hear Biden deliver an ultimatum that he wouldn\u2019t sign the $1.2 trillion deal without a much larger and more partisan bill alongside, accepted his public walk-back in television appearances on Sunday morning,\u201d CNN reported Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), one of the leaders of the compromise deal told CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper, \u201cI am totally confident the President will sign it if it comes to his desk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) was less sure in his own interview with NBC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll see going forward,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I\u2019ll continue to work for the bill.\u201d<\/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.
