Chuck Schumer Will Trigger Senate Reconciliation Process For $4T Biden Infrastructure And Economics Plan

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced Wednesday that he is convening a meeting of members of the Senate Democratic caucus in order to start the “reconciliation process” for President Joe Biden’s massive infrastructure plan.

Schumer told media that he is “meeting with all 11 Democratic members of the Senate Budget Committee on Wednesday to begin the process for passing a budget resolution, paving the way for Democrats to pass a major infrastructure bill on a party-line vote,” if a number of key moderate Senators, including Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), agree to key elements of the plan.
