Senate Majority Leader Schumer says that once the chamber passes the bipartisan infrastructure package this week, they will “immediately move” to pass a budget resolution that will allow their party to craft a $3.5T social safety net bill.
Democrats are using the budget reconciliation process to pass the measure with a simple majority vote in the Senate, circumventing the filibuster. The budget resolution that Schumer, D-N.Y., plans to bring to the floor will provide reconciliation instructions to a group of committees that will each be responsible for writing parts of the bill.
The budget resolution will instruct the relevant committees to submit their pieces of the reconciliation package by Sept. 15.
