Biden: ‘We have a deal’ on a bipartisan infrastructure plan

Amid a hyper-polarised climate in Washington, both parties are able to come to a rare agreement.

United States President Joe Biden and a bipartisan group of senators announced they have struck a deal on a $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan, a rare breakthrough in a deeply divided Washington, and one that faces a complicated path to passage in Congress. “We have a deal,” Biden said, flanked by several Democratic and Republican senators, during a surprise appearance outside of the White House on Thursday. Calling the deal “a true bipartisan effort”, Biden in a separate White House speech said, “There’s nothing our nation can’t do when we decide to do it together, do it as one nation.”
