Two Democrats Signal Opposition to Bipartisan Plan

“Two Democratic senators on Tuesday signaled they will oppose a $974 billion, five-year bipartisan infrastructure proposal unveiled last week, faulting it for not doing enough to halt climate change.” The Hill reports.

“Sens. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) told reporters they will only support an infrastructure package that is part of a broader guaranteed agreement to invest massively into clean energy infrastructure and urged their party leaders to immediately begin the budget reconciliation process to allow legislation to pass the Senate with only Democratic votes.”

Bernie Sanders is also a “hard no” on the bipartisan plan.
