Bipartisan Group of Senators Reaches Tentative Agreement on Infrastructure Deal to Present to Biden

Summary from the AllSides News Team

A bipartisan group of ten senators released a statement Thursday saying they reached an agreement on framework for an infrastructure deal. The statement said the bill will be fully paid for and exclude any tax hikes, but did not release details regarding funding; according to the New York Times, the bill is expected to address core physical infrastructure projects and will cost $1.2 trillion over eight years, and include $579 billion in new spending. In the statement, the group said they are discussing their "approach with our respective colleagues and the White House." It is unclear whether the group has any support from key leaders in either party. This comes after President Joe Biden ended negotiation talks with Sen. Shelley Moore Capito on Tuesday.
