(AP Photo\/J. Scott Applewhite)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:04 AM PT \u2013 Monday, August 2, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>After months of negotiations, lawmakers said they have come to a deal for the nearly $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. The U.S. Senate convened for a session Sunday to work out the final details of the bill after being unable to wrap it up in a session on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) congratulated the members of the bipartisan group while noting they hadn\u2019t done a large bipartisan bill \u201cof this nature\u201d in a long time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, the bipartisan group of senators have produced a bill that will dedicate substantial resources to repair, maintain and upgrade our nation\u2019s physical infrastructure,\u201d stated the New York Democrat. \u201cIt\u2019s been decades\u2026decades since Congress passed such a significant, stand alone investment and u salute the hard work that was done here by everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumer also said amendments will be considered for the bill. The $1.2 trillion deal is expected to include funding to major infrastructure such as roads, bridges, broadband, clean drinking water and infrastructure for electric vehicles among other initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on CNN\u2019s State of the Union, however, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said House Democrats won\u2019t approve the bipartisan bill unless the Democrat\u2019s partisan $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill is passed as well in the Senate.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I respect that we have to get Senator Sinema&#8217;s &amp; Manchin\u2019s votes on reconciliation. They should also respect that there\u2019s a very tight House margin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If the Senate doesn&#8217;t pass reconciliation, funding climate, healthcare &amp; more \u2013 then there&#8217;s no deal. We have the votes. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CHz89NdT2t\">pic.twitter.com\/CHz89NdT2t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@RepAOC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepAOC\/status\/1421873004334751757?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Senate would need to first pass a budget resolution before working on a reconciliation bill. The reconciliation bill would reportedly increase spending on education, climate change and child care among other items.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is not a reconciliation bill in the House and if the Senate does not pass the reconciliation bill, we will uphold our end of the bargain and not pass the bipartisan bill until we get all of these investments in,\u201d stated Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n<p>However, the reconciliation bill has stirred opposition as some Republicans and Democrats have voiced their concerns over the high price tag. While Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) believes the bipartisan bill is important, his views differ in relation to Democrat\u2019s counter efforts with the separate reconciliation bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis kind of focused compromise that our colleagues have been hashing out could not contrast more sharply with the multi-trillion dollar reckless taxing and spending spree that Democrats hope to ram through on a party-line vote later this year,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>In response to finalizing details on the bipartisan bill, Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said, \u201cnobody got what they wanted, but everybody got what we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Whether you&#8217;re a Democrat, Republican or Independent, better infrastructure will create jobs and improve your quality of life \u2013 without raising taxes.
