The Swamp Desperately Fights For A Piece Of Biden's $2 Trillion Infrastructure Plan

After President Joe Biden announced his $2 trillion dollar infrastructure plan, lawmakers and lobbyists began to fight for a piece of it.

Biden's infrastructure bill was the largest infrastructure package to be rolled out in over 50 years, Politico reported.

The scope of the plan was so broad that most lobbying industries were vying for a piece of how it, according to Politico - and the package could cause one of the most concerted and frenzied efforts among lobbyists in history.

Sixteen organizations focused on labor and environmental issues came together to ask the Biden administration for $2 trillion in infrastructure investments.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told congressional Democrats that she hoped the plan would pass by the Fourth of July, Politico reported.

On the flip side, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he would not support the plan if it included tax hikes and deficit expenses, according to Politico.

The White House said it welcomed input and suggestions for the plan.
