Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, said Tuesday that Democrats who are dead set on using reconciliation to pass a sweeping infrastructure package are in for a fight. McConnell, who was in Kentucky at the time, said the "era of bipartisanship on this stuff is over," according to the Hill. "This is going to be a hell of a fight over what this country ought to look like in the future and it's going to unfold here in the next few weeks. Members of the Problem Solvers Caucus on Tuesday announced their support of the $973 billion infrastructure deal proposed last month by a bipartisan group of senators. The caucus endorsed the infrastructure bill as a stand-alone bill and not tied to any reconciliation package.
