but she has a real working relationship with every one of them. and kevin mccarthy absolutely does not have that. no. and it s not like there s anybody else who brings them all together. they re a fractious bunch but it does seem like he s in a weak spots. maybe he ll shore that up with his filibuster. one more thing for donald trump in case he s watching, the speaker of the house does not get a free place to stay in washington. that s another consideration. ooh, you just sealed it. you just sealed it, what, he s going to pay rent. exactly. thank you, rachel. thank you, lawrence. thank you. well, part two of the biden infrastructure plan is poised for a vote in the house tonight if kevin mccarthy ever stops talking. things moved very quickly today after the congressional budget office came out with its official analysis of the biden social infrastructure bill, and
senator sinema. that s news. thank you, rachel. thank you, lawrence. thank you. well, it was infrastructure weekend this weekend with president joe biden in with senate majority leader chuck schumer and senator joe manchin at the president s home in wilmington, delaware, on sunday morning. when those two senators were meeting with the president, speaker of the house nancy pelosi said this. we ve 90% of the bill agreed to and written. we just have some of the last decisions to be made. one of the last decisions to be made includes what rachel and i were just talking about, a last-minute rewriting of one of the first decisions that was made about the biden social infrastructure bill, and that is how to pay for it. this rewriting might be happening because one senator, kyrsten sinema, is apparently opposed to increases in the top income tax rate for personal income taxes and in increases in
taxes including income taxes on the rich to pay for that package and no republican currently serving in the united states senate has ever voted for a tax increase on anything. there are reports today that congressional democrats are now rushing to reach an agreement on the biden social infrastructure bill. majority leader chuck schumer said this today on the senate floor. everyone is going to have to compromise if we re going to find that legislative sweet spot we can all get behind. nobody will get everything they want, but no matter what, our final proposal will deliver the core promise we made to the american people. we re getting closer to an agreement. we want to finalize a deal by the end of this week, but we all must keep moving together. chuck schumer knows that in a 50/50 senate, the most important vote joe manchin has cast this year in the senate was the vote
positions are still much more in line with a democratic party than the republican party. there is not a single republican senator who is in favor of spending one penny on the social infrastructure track of the biden bills. joe manchin is in favor of spending 1.7 five trillion dollars. and joe manchin is in favor of raising taxes, including income taxes on the rich, to pay for that package. and no republican currently serving in the united states and has ever voted for a tax increase on anything. there are reports today that congressional democrats are now rushing to reach an agreement on the biden social infrastructure bill, majority leader chuck schumer said this today, on the senate floor. everyone s gonna have to compromise if we re gonna find that legislative sweet spot, we can all get behind.
