McConnell says Biden's infrastructure package won't get GOP support, will oppose it 'every step of the way'
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday told reporters President Biden’s proposed $2.3 trillion infrastructure package "is not going to get support" from Republicans and said he plans to oppose it "every step of the way."
"I think the last thing the economy needs right now is a big, whopping tax increase." "You're either alarmed about the level of national debt and the future impact of that on our children and our grandchildren, or you aren't." The Kentucky Republican specifically criticized the plan's proposed corporate tax rate hike, which he said would hurt America's ability to compete in a global economy, and the subsequent increase to the national debt. With GOP support unlikely, Democrats would likely have to pass the bill using budget reconciliation.More Related News
