Schumer warns Dems will go it alone on Biden's $4T tax and spending proposal
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that Democrats are prepared to pass President Biden's nearly $4 trillion tax and spending plans — with or without Republican support.
Democrats are now discussing using the procedural tool known as budget reconciliation to pass the spending and tax increases using their slimmest possible 50-50 Senate majority. The party already used reconciliation to pass Biden's $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March without any Republican votes. "Of course reconciliation is an option," Schumer said Wednesday while speaking during a press conference. "We hope to do as much as we can in a bipartisan way. But the No. 1 goal is a big bold plan along the lines of what President Biden has proposed."More Related News
