Are The Fundamentals Of A Bipartisan Infrastructure At Risk?

As of June 27, 2021, Senator Rob Jones Portman of Ohio, declared that the bipartisan infrastructure deal can advance with President Joe Biden’s clarification that he will surely sign the bill, even if there is no proper appeasement that follows.

President Biden currently stands irresolutely before the bipartisan infrastructure deal. However, on June 24, 2021, he declared, “We have a deal” in regards to the exceptional plan made by a bipartisan group of senators. The plan is to make improvements on many of the nation’s roads, and bridges that are currently difficult to avail oneself of.

On June 25, 2021, President Biden said that he would refuse to sign the bill unless each side was in proper conjunction with the other. This new proclamation from Biden quickly antagonized most of the Republican lawmakers at the time. As a result of Biden’s sudden change of assurance, he received backlash from Senate Minority Mitch McConnell. McConnell accused President Biden of threatening to veto the bipartisan infrastructure deal made on Senate grounds on June 24, 2021.

Disregarding the statements he originally made, Biden reiterates his full support for the bipartisan deal by giving a lengthy statement on June 26, 2021. He said that he doesn’t plan to ‘veto’ the bipartisan infrastructure plan, even if it doesn’t end with a reconciliation package. He explained, “My comments also created the impression that I was issuing a veto threat on the very plan I had just agreed to, which was certainly not my intent.”

What Will It Be, Biden?

The Administrative Officials are now calling the issues formulated around the reconciliation package “human infrastructure”.  Washington Post Columnist, Helaine Olen said it best, “Infrastructure means not only public works but also the underlying foundation of a society.” This idea of infrastructure supports the way Biden presents his crossroad opinions about the entire plan. Biden believes that what this nation needs is human infrastructure.  However, the bipartisan infrastructure plan fundamentally focuses on the improvement of the nations’ roads, bridges, and broadband.

According to Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, “A lot of my colleagues were very concerned about what the president was saying … but I think the waters have been calmed by what he said on Saturday”. Romney, the middleman of the plan, says with full confidence that he believes that eventually, enough Republicans will support the infrastructure bill and that President Biden will sign it.
