Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who lost out to Biden in the Democratic primary and who has been noticeably supportive of the President so far, addressed the contradiction of the current political moment in holiday weekend tweet.

"Let's be clear. If 10 Republican Senators cannot even vote for a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th insurrection, 10 Republican Senators will not vote for anything meaningful to improve the lives of the American people. We must abolish the filibuster & act now," Sanders wrote.

The tweet exemplified the increasing pressure not just from progressives but also more broadly from Democrats on Capitol Hill for Biden to leverage what may be a fleeting window of Democratic power before midterm elections in 2022.

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand made a similar point on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

"Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has already said his goal is to defeat the agenda of this administration," Gillibrand told Jake Tapper. "We just had a vote on the January 6 rights and only had six strong souls to vote with us. That's a problem ... I don't think there's necessarily good will behind all negotiations."

Gillibrand's comments reflected hints from Republican leaders like Majority leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Majority whip Dick Durbin that the time may be winding down for talking with the GOP on infrastructure.

 

White House cranks up the pressure as infrastructure talks drag on

Rising Democratic impatience may help explain Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's warning on "State of the Union" that it would soon be time to "fish or cut bait" on an infrastructure deal and that conclusive progress was required this week while Congress is out of town.

Biden and a small group of GOP senators interested in a deal are more than $700 billion apart. Republicans have a $928 billion offer on the table after the White House came down to $1.7 trillion, but they understood the President may accept a $1 trillion package. There remain big differences on how to pay for the package and even on the definition of what "infrastructure" actually means in the 21st Century.

While the President is committed to pursuing a deal, he sent a telling signal last week that his patience is not infinite and that he is becoming increasingly caustic about Republican tactics. Holding up a list, Biden chastised GOP senators who voted against his Covid rescue plan but are bragging about aspects of the law they voted against.
