Bernie not accepting the Biden walk-back on the infrastructure deal.

Bernie Sanders
@SenSanders
Let me be clear: There will not be a bipartisan infrastructure deal without a reconciliation bill that substantially improves the lives of working families and combats the existential threat of climate change. No reconciliation bill, no deal. We need transformative change NOW.

3. Pelosi already said

there’s no chance in hell that a bipartisan infrastructure bill would be approved by the House unless the reconciliation bill is also included.

5. We will see

2. The senate passes the bipartisan bill, sends it to the house, and Nancy doesn't put it on the floor

Unless they send over the reconciliation as well. Simple, no veto threat. McConnell knows how it’s done

4. Sanders statement is not inconsistent with Biden's position

Sorry, Mr. Bolton, whoever you are, Dems are not in disarray.

7. Exactly! Why would the BIden WH settle for a much smaller bipartisan bill if they weren't going

To go ahead With a second bill passed using reconciliation

[FloridaBlues]

6. Come on congress/senate let's move on these 2 legislative bills

Do something for the American people once again as you did a few months ago.

8. So simple... pass the first in good faith

Or go to plan B… Lucy.

9. Democrats standing united
