48. Mark Kelly, Echoing Krysten Sinema, Concerned Over Biden's Infrastructure Price Tag

Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Krysten Sinema both expressed a measure of reluctance to support the cost of the Biden administration's $3.5 trillion budget resolution bill, which aims to fund new infrastructure measures, while at the same time saying they support moving the process forward.

The Democratic senators both made comments on Wednesday that suggested support for much of the agenda of the plan, which included President Joe Biden's "human infrastructure" agenda, like expanding Medicare, paid family leave, funding universal pre-school and paying for climate change initiatives, but not the high price tag many Democrats believe it will actually cost.

Sinema told Senate leadership and Biden on Wednesday she supports goals like job growth and American competitiveness. "I have also made clear that while I will support beginning this process, I do not support a bill that costs $3.5 trillion—and in the coming months, I will work in good faith to develop this legislation with my colleagues and the administration to strengthen Arizona's economy and help Arizona's everyday families get ahead," she said later in the day in a written statement.

Kelly echoed Sinema's sentiments without going quite as far, when he said Wednesday that although he does plan to vote to advance a budget resolution, he does have concerns about the $3.5 trillion price tag. "I want to see it paid for," he said. "But I want to see this process move forward."
