President Joe Biden moved significantly closer Wednesday to achieving his massive infrastructure overhaul — the type of bipartisan win he’s dreamed about since launching his campaign for the presidency
This week, Ricchetti worked late nights alongside the lead Republican negotiator, Sen. Rob Portman , to hash out major hang-ups. And though some congressional Democrats warned that too many of their priorities were being sacrificed for the sake of bipartisanship, White House officials didn’t waver publicly or privately in conversations with their party members.
“I think the president is demonstrating that he has the ability to make this town work, in part, with his Democratic allies on the Hill, and that is what our country needs, a functioning government with responsible adults delivering real results on important issues,” said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney , chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
But Biden’s own advisers conceded that the president would need to turn some of his focus to the sprawling spending plan that Democrats are pushing to enact without the help of Republicans. Though much of the action around the deal occurred in conversations between senators and top White House aides, administration officials said the president was intimately involved. Biden was briefed multiple times a day and directed the strategy as he held calls with lawmakers.
“Not only is Senator Schumer and Joe Biden able to deliver a bipartisan compromise, we're also opening up the floor to votes,” said Murphy, predicting amendment votes might be allowed on the narrow infrastructure package. “There's 30 percent on either side who are never gonna support compromise but the folks who were disaffected with democracy — and a lot of the folks that are in Donald Trump's camp — are people that want bipartisanship and never saw that happen.
