(Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 12:38 PM PT \u2013 Wednesday, July 7, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he plans to put up a fight against Democrats if they try to use budget reconciliation to pass Joe Biden\u2019s infrastructure plan. McConnell spoke of the plan in Kentucky, adding that the parties have never been more divided on an issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all going to unfold here in the next few weeks,\u201d said McConnell. \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ve had a bigger difference of opinion between the two parties over the best thing to do for America than we have right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His remarks came as Democrats prepare to vote on a smaller bipartisan version of the spending bill in addition to voting on the budget resolution. That resolution would allow Democrats to pass another larger infrastructure bill along party lines.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Less than two hours after publicly endorsing our colleagues\u2019 bipartisan agreement on infrastructure, the President took the extraordinary step of threatening to veto it. That\u2019s not the way to show you\u2019re serious about getting a bipartisan outcome. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X19VKDAoul\">pic.twitter.com\/X19VKDAoul<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1408177969705762825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McConnell said Democrats\u2019 biggest obstacle would be opposition from moderate Democrat Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.). Both Manchin and Sinema are reportedly open to using reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell added that they can\u2019t all agree due to the magnitude of what\u2019s trying to be passed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a process by which they could pass this bill without a single Republican, but we\u2019re going to make it hard for them,\u201d mentioned McConnell. \u201cThere are few Democrats left in rural America and some others who would like to be more in the political center but may find this offensive, but all this is going to play out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, while McConnell said both parties have a difficult time agreeing, they don\u2019t necessarily \u201chate\u201d each other. Although, he does believe the era of bipartisanship on certain issues is over.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/taliban-attacks-northwestern-afghan-province\/\">Taliban Attacks Northwestern Afghan Province<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) talks to reporters after the Senate voted to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh at the U.S. Capitol October 06, 2018 in Washington, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-585447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585447","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\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
