Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) warned Wednesday that the Democratic agreement for a $3.5 trillion price tag for their party-line infrastructure bill “complicates” GOP support for a separate bipartisan deal.

“Having the budget resolution conversation around this complicates the issue and makes it clear what the Democrats ultimate objectives are and if able to achieve those, yeah, it creates a lot of heartburn for our members,” Thune told reporters.

He added that Democrats' willingness to use reconciliation on a second Democratic-only bill “adds a context to the conversation around the [bipartisan] infrastructure bill that is not conducive to getting more Republican votes for it.”
