FY2022 Budget Reconciliation & Infrastructure
Once again, the past week saw little public action on a potentially revived reconciliation package, with both chambers of Congress on state work periods and attention divided between other priorities such as a conference on China competitiveness legislation and taming record-breaking inflation. While the news cycle regarding reconciliation talks has remained fairly quiet, this cooling off period may lay the groundwork for expedited negotiations on a pared back bill that aligns with Sen. Joe Manchin's (D-WV) repeated insistence that a bill reduce the deficit and embrace an “all-of-the-above” energy portfolio. As the midterm election season rapidly approaches, Democratic leadership will need to act fast in the coming weeks to push across a critical component of President Biden's agenda.
