GOP Senator Wavering In Support of Bipartisan Deal

Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) is wavering is his support of the bipartisan infrastructure deal announced yesterday, Bloomberg reports.

Moran wants assurances from Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) that they will oppose a supplementary reconciliation bill for him to stay onboard.

Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) on Twitter: “Anyone who thinks that McConnell wasn’t planning to run this play as soon as there was a bipartisan deal doesn’t work in the Senate.”

Some Republicans were apparently openly hoping a bipartisan deal would effectively kill momentum for a reconciliation bill. But that was not Biden’s intention.
