10 R & 10 D Senators agree on 8 year, $1.2T infrastructure outline [View all]




Manu Raju @mkraju

Twenty senators from both parties announce support for $1.2T, eight-year bipartisan infrastructure outline


The 10 Rs:
Burr
Cassidy
Collins
Graham
Murkowski
Portman
Romney
Rounds
Tillis
Young

Manchin and Sinema are part of the 10 Ds.

If this can be passed without reconciliation which Ds can use later, I say pass this bill since 10 R votes would allow it to overcome the filibuster. Granted, I suppose there is a chance M/S might not vote for a reconciliation bill but both have shown adherence and openness to passing a reconciliation bill because it is within the rules.
